How these Indices are Calculated
- Global Competitiveness Index is the most comprehensive of our indices and includes hard data as well as business opinions on a range of issues including institutions, labor, infrastructure and health. It does not have a specific business focus, but rather it assesses the ability of countries to provide high levels of prosperity to their citizens.
- Ease of Doing Business Index measures the quality of regulations and efficiency of business-government transactions for domestically owned small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs). It does not measure macroeconomic conditions, corruption, cost of labor and capital, or other factors which affect the likely profitability of new business ventures.
- Index of Economic Freedom covers ten areas including trade freedom, business freedom, investment freedom, and property rights. It relies on secondary sources of information rather than business interviews.
- Business Environment rankings examine ten separate criteria covering the political environment, macroeconomic environment, market opportunities, policy towards free enterprise and competition, and others.
- FDI Confidence Index is based on a survey of top executives who are asked about the future prospects for foreign direct investment (FDI) in each of the measured countries.
- World Competitiveness Yearbook looks at five main areas of economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency and infrastructure.
