SPI raises awareness and interest in:• The three sub-indices • The individual
indicators• Scorecards to facilitate
comparisons with similar regions (GDP per head or same country)
• The changes over time (to be developed)

composite indicator has a potential impact on the final index• Standardisation• Weights• Type of Aggregation
