Euro, EUR, Prediction and volatility data table. Ranking of economies. Economy Rankings Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, from 1–190.
A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. The rankings are determined by sorting the aggregate distance to frontier scores on 10 topics, each consisting of several indicators, giving equal weight to each topic. The rankings for all economies are benchmarked to June 2016.

ViewsWire. Tunisia's and Egypt's authoritarian leaders have been toppled. The question now is whether popular protests and uprisings will sweep through the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and possibly spread to authoritarian regimes in other regions. It is safe to say that vulnerabilities exist in many countries, but assessing whether popular discontent will translate into a serious challenge to a regime is problematic. Any efforts to quantify a given country's vulnerability are by nature imprecise. Nonetheless, as a rough guide to which countries could see similar upheaval to that of the past few weeks, the Economist Intelligence Unit has developed an index for the vulnerability of autocratic regimes to political revolt.
The recent momentous events have been extraordinary in several respects. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit's Democracy index 2010, a report published in December, there are 55 authoritarian regimes in the world. Conditions for political revolts Why now? Indices | Equity | Europe. EIU Risk rating. Home | About Maplecroft | Media Room | News. Algeria Maplecroft’s in-depth Country Risk Report on Algeria offers high-level analysis of the governance framework, the regulatory and business environment, political violence, human rights and society.
Protests in Algiers on 22 January 2011 turned violent after riot police began to forcibly disperse demonstrators, resulting in 32 injured. Approximately 300 people had gathered to participate in the protests, amid discontent over rising food prices and continuing unemployment. Throughout January, similar protests have occurred both in Algiers and across the provinces.
With protests in Algeria following the formation of a new unity government in Tunisia and the departure of Tunisia’s president Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali on 18 January, speculation is mounting over the possibility of similar regime change taking place in Algeria. However, Algeria may be less likely to follow in the footsteps of Tunisia’s regime change because it has a smaller middle class than its neighbour. Enquire Enquire. Herfindahl-Index.

Cost of Living Index By Country. S 2010 Cost of Living survey highlights.
Relative stability in the Americas, but multiple factors influence ranking shifts In the Americas, cities in South America are the most expensive for expatriates. Living in some cities, particularly those in Brazil, became cheaper because of the US dollar's strengthening against local currencies. Other cities became more expensive. The cost of living in some, like Buenos Aires and Caracas, rose due to high inflation. Others, like Mexico City, are facing a strong rental market. Overall, the cost of living in other cities in Latin America and in the Caribbean remained fairly stable, according to Mercer's rankings.
New York, the base city for Mercer's Cost of Living rankings, is the most expensive city in the United States. To learn more, read the press release. Beyond GDP - International Initiative.

Predictions and volatility. Renewable Energy Attractiveness Indices. Aggressive targets, sustained support levels and efforts to open up the market to foreign investors have launched China to the top of the index again. The Government is keen to attract private investment, opening the doors for a wider range of stakeholders to participate in the significant growth still expected across the country’s renewables sector. China already dominates onshore wind and utility-scale solar PV, and is now setting its sights on others, such as offshore wind, tidal and distributed solar.

International - the global coalition against corruption. With governments committing huge sums to tackle the world's most pressing problems, from the instability of financial markets to climate change and poverty, corruption remains an obstacle to achieving much needed progress.
The 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that nearly three quarters of the 178 countries in the index score below five, on a scale from 10 (highly clean) to 0 (highly corrupt). These results indicate a serious corruption problem. To address these challenges, governments need to integrate anti-corruption measures in all spheres, from their responses to the financial crisis and climate change to commitments by the international community to eradicate poverty. Transparency International advocates stricter implementation of the UN Convention against Corruption, the only global initiative that provides a framework for putting an end to corruption.
