How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for protection of private and foreign investors. 0 means weak protection and high arbitrary or expropriation risk, while 100 means strong legal and practical investment protection.

The starting point is Nomadino data on property-rights security, rule of law, corruption level, expropriation risk, foreign ownership rights and economic freedom. The result is checked against UNCTAD data, rule-of-law data, World Bank governance data and economic-freedom data.

The calculation combines six blocks: property-rights security counts for 30%, rule of law 25%, corruption level 15%, expropriation risk 15%, foreign ownership rights 10%, and economic freedom 5%.

This gives greater weight to property protection, courts, corruption risk and expropriation risk than to market size alone. A large market can therefore rank lower if investors face weaker legal or political protection.

For countries and territories without complete direct coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are derived from administering states, comparable legal systems, regional peers and available protection indicators.

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