What is the difference between a Country Profile and a Country Report?

Country Reports provide in-depth background information on economic competitiveness for a given country. These reports also provide background notes on the country, detailing area studies and topics related to public administration.

Country Profiles provide information on specific economic industries for a particular country. Rather than provide a macro perspective of a country's economy, users can research specific industries for a country. Some examples would include airport services, agricultural products, and the apparel industry.
