UNIDO published a working paper titled “Competitive Industrial Performance Report 2014”. The report is an analytical publication of the UNIDO Statistics Unit based primarily on its own data sources. The CIP continues to grow in scope and coverage. The present CIP index’s data coverage has increased from 137 economies in the preceding 2013 report to 147.

The CIP report has widely been used an advisory service offered by UNIDO in the area of policy and statistics. This allows decision makers understand the impact of key variables on their country’s overall economic performance. The CIP report is helpful in formulating the policy and statistics component of the relevant technical assistance programme of UNIDO.
