World Economics has gathered together key indicators for governance.
Data is ranked on a 0-100 scale where 0 = bad and 100 = as good as it gets.
Governance in these countries is assessed via indices on corruption perception, rule of law, press freedom and political rights.
The index gives equal weight to all the four criteria stated above.
To help investors assess risks in Governance, World Economics produces a continuously revised global Index, to bring together crucial aspects of Governance that collectively measure countries about the rule of law, press freedom, political rights, and corruption.
Europe leads the way with 87% of countries attaining Good (as rated A or B) levels of Governance.
At the opposite end of the spectrum, African data suggests only 11% of countries can be considered as having good governance, with Ghana being ranked 1st, 5th and 48th on the West Africa, Africa and World indexes respectively.
