How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for openness to foreign investors. 0 means strong barriers to ownership, repatriation or market access, while 100 means very open investment conditions.

The starting point is Nomadino data on foreign ownership rights, economic freedom, expropriation risk, rule of law, international payment access and tax treaties. The result is checked against UNCTAD investment data, tax-treaty data, World Bank and IMF source families.

The calculation combines six blocks: foreign ownership rights count for 30%, economic freedom 25%, expropriation risk 15%, rule of law 10%, international payment access 10%, and tax treaties 10%.

The indicator is narrower than general investor protection. It focuses especially on whether foreigners may own assets, whether profits can be transferred, whether tax treaties improve usability and whether international payments work in practice.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are checked against administering states, legal area, tax-treaty network, currency area and regional peers.

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