The World’s Most Dynamic, Diversified Economy
A political and economic powerhouse, the United States is home to a large consumer market, advanced infrastructure, and a well-educated workforce. Its diversified and dynamic economy makes it a leading producer of oil, gas and other mineral resources, a pioneer in research and innovation, as well as an agricultural and industrial behemoth, and a top tourist destination. Favorable corporate taxation, a high level of business freedom, and a wide range of financial, insurance and banking services allowed the U.S. to become the top destination in the world for foreign direct investment. Challenges include high public debt, a polarized political landscape, an aging population and income inequality, as well as the competition with China in trade, technology and global political influence.
