It also assesses the likelihood that private property will be expropriated and analyzes the independence of the judiciary , the existence of corruption within the judiciary, and the ability of individuals and businesses to enforce contracts. Higher index values denote more certain legal protection of property. |
Freedom from corruption index (0-100) | Corruption Perception Index (0-100) | Definition: The score for the Freedom of corruption index is derived primarily from Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. For countries that are not covered in the CPI the freedom from corruption score is determined by using information from internationally recognized and reliable sources. Higher index values denote lower level of corruption. |
Fiscal freedom index (0-100) | Fiscal Freedom Index (0-100) | Definition: The Fiscal freedom index measures the tax burden imposed by government. It is composed of three quantitative factors: the top marginal tax rate on individual income, the top marginal tax rate on corporate income, and the total tax burden as a percentage of GDP. |
Business freedom index (0-100) | Business Freedom Index (0-100) | Definition: The Business freedom index is based on 10 indicators, using data from the World Bank's Doing Business study: Starting a business-procedures (number), time (days), cost (% of income per capita), and minimum capital (% of income per capita); Obtaining a license—procedures (number), time (days), and cost (% of income per capita); Closing a business—time (years), cost (% of estate), and recovery rate (cents on the dollar). |
