How the Macroeconomic Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across nine indicators. Nomadino calculates: macroeconomic score = GDP per capita at purchasing power parity × 0.20 + inflation rate × 0.17 + public debt × 0.13 + GDP growth × 0.12 + economic freedom index × 0.11 + tax burden as percent of GDP × 0.09 + central bank independence × 0.07 + foreign exchange reserves × 0.06 + current account balance × 0.05.

  • GDP per capita at purchasing power parity: 20%
  • Inflation rate: 17%
  • Public debt as percent of GDP: 13%
  • GDP growth: 12%
  • Economic freedom index: 11%
  • Tax burden as percent of GDP: 9%
  • Central bank independence: 7%
  • Foreign exchange reserves: 6%
  • Current account balance as percent of GDP: 5%

Nomadino uses the normalized indicator scores on a 0 to 100 scale, where higher means stronger or more stable macroeconomic conditions. GDP per capita at purchasing power parity receives the highest weight because it is the most direct signal of prosperity and real economic capacity. Price stability is weighted almost as strongly because high or volatile inflation directly affects purchasing power, planning security, contracts and savings.

Public debt and GDP growth receive medium-to-high weights because they show fiscal sustainability and current economic momentum. The economic freedom index, the tax burden relative to GDP and central bank independence capture institutional and fiscal conditions: they indicate how reliable rules, markets, public revenue and monetary policy are. Foreign exchange reserves and the current account balance remain included, but are weighted lower because commodity exporters, small financial centres and special territories can be shaped strongly by one-off structural factors. If an indicator is removed with the checkbox, Nomadino divides by the sum of the remaining weights, preserving the relative importance of the active indicators.
