La libertad económica en el mundo en 2018
Los países mejor valorados
Los datos completos más recientes disponibles son de 2018.
Hong Kong se mantiene en la primera posición. El aparente aumento de la
inseguridad de los derechos de propiedad y el debilitamiento del Estado de
derecho causados por las intervenciones del gobierno chino
durante 2019 y 2020 tendrán probablemente un impacto negativo en
la puntuación de Hong Kong, especialmente en el área 2, Sistema legal y
Derechos de Propiedad, de cara al futuro. Singapur, una vez más, se sitúa
en segundo lugar. Las siguientes naciones con mayor puntuación son Nueva Zelanda,
Suiza, Estados Unidos, Australia, Mauricio, Georgia,
Canadá e Irlanda.
Clasificación de otros países importantes
Las clasificaciones de otros países importantes son Japón (20º),
Alemania (21º), Italia (51º), Francia (58º), México (68º), Rusia
(89º), India (105º), Brasil (105º) y China (124º).
Países con menor puntuación
Los diez países peor valorados son: la República Centroafricana
República Democrática del Congo, Zimbabue, República del Congo,
