List Notes: The Economist Intelligence Unit's global business rankings model is applied to the world's 60 largest countries, which account for more than 95% of global output, trade and FDI. It measures the quality or attractiveness, adjusted for country size, of the business environment and its key components which affect the opportunities for, and hindrances to, the conduct of business.
