The Ease of Doing Business’s ‘distance to frontier’ score assesses the overall level of regulatory performance of a country. It
ranges from 0=’lowest performance’ to 100=’the frontier’, the best performance observed worldwide each year.
The Human Development Index (HDI) measures the average achievement in key dimensions of human development. It
is based on life expectancy at birth, average duration of education and GDP per capita. It ranges from 0 to 100. ‘High human
development countries’ (UN) are in the range between 70 and 80.
The Corruption Perception Index measures the perceived levels of public sector corruption worldwide. Scores range from
0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean).
The GINI Index measures the deviation of the distribution of income among individuals or households within a country from
a perfectly equal distribution. It is hence a measure of inequality in income distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute
equality, a value of 100 absolute inequality.
