How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value. 0 means capital movement and foreign-exchange access are heavily constrained, while 100 means capital, profits, payments and foreign exchange can be used freely in practice.

The starting point is Nomadino data on economic freedom, foreign-exchange reserves, central-bank independence, current-account balance, banking stability and international payment access. The composition is checked against public IMF, World Bank and Heritage economic-freedom source families.

The calculation combines six blocks: economic freedom counts for 35%, foreign-exchange reserves 20%, central-bank independence 15%, current-account balance 10%, banking stability 10%, and international payment access 10%.

The indicator deliberately does not use a single capital-control table as the full value. In practice, formal rules matter together with FX availability, working payment rails, bank stability and predictable monetary institutions.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are derived from currency unions, administering states, regional peers and the available financial indicators, and are not treated as official point measurements.

The score equals the raw value. A higher raw value therefore improves the ranking.
