Netherlands ranked first in business environment

Once again, the Netherlands has been ranked number one for global business environment outlook for the next five years (2003-2007), according to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s most recent global business environment rankings. The Netherlands is forecasted to remain a strong, favorable global operating environment for the next five years.

Although the Netherlands demonstrates strength in all components, the country continues to score particularly well on its political stability and effectiveness, its policy towards foreign investment, and finance availability.

Canada is ranked number two in the global business environment rankings, followed by the USA, the UK, Switzerland and Finland.
