The World Economic Forum recently published its annual Global Competitiveness Report, which brings together dozens of measures of economic and institutional health.

One of the sub-categories used by the WEF is the prevalence of organised crime - listed under the "security" index. Extortion, racketeering, theft, violence and property damage are all factors that could hold back a country's development.
