   (a) International Monetary Fund. The IMF issues the World Economic Outlook and Global Financial Stability Report, not the Global Competitiveness Report, so it is not the key.

2. B

   World Nations conference on trade and development

   (b) United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. UNCTAD publishes the World Investment Report and trade-and-development surveys, not this competitiveness ranking, so it is not the key.

3. C

   World economic forum

   (c) World Economic Forum. The Global Competitiveness Report (and its Global Competitiveness Index) is a WEF product, so this publisher is the official key.

4. D

   World bank

   (d) World Bank. The Bank’s Ease of Doing Business (while it ran) and World Development Report are different products, so the Bank is not the key.
