Regulatory Quality: Percentile Rank

This indicator reflects global perceptions regarding a government's effectiveness in crafting and enforcing policies and regulations that foster a conducive environment for private sector growth. The percentile rank illustrates a country's standing relative to its global peers, with a scale ranging from 0, indicating the weakest regulatory frameworks, to 100, representing exemplary governance. Adjustments to these ranks account for evolving country compositions within the World Governance Indicators (WGI), ensuring a more accurate comparative analysis over time. High percentile rankings often correlate with robust economic performance, investor confidence, and enhanced entrepreneurial activity, thereby highlighting the essential role of sound regulatory practices in promoting sustainable development.
