Country profile
Kosovo remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Its weakest results are in Infrastructure (59, 27th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.
Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.
R&D investment remains modest, affecting long-term innovation potential. Policy execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Gender parity across secondary pathways reflects sustained commitment to equitable participation.
GEFRI Composite presents a near-term leapfrog opportunity: performance is just below the global average, backed by enough observed data to support forward planning.
Many indicators are imputed, so the profile should be treated as a limited signal rather than a complete measurement.
