Economic Freedom Index: How free is India’s economy?
Economic Freedom Index
The Index of Economic Freedom is published annually by The Heritage Foundation, a Washington think tank. The Index covers 12 freedoms, which can be grouped into four broad categories:
- The rule of law (property rights, judicial effectiveness, and government integrity)
- Government size (tax burden, government spending, and fiscal health)
- Regulatory efficiency (business freedom, labor freedom, and monetary freedom)
- Market openness (trade freedom, investment freedom, and financial freedom)
Economic Freedom in India
Economic freedom in India has improved steadily since the turn of the millennium but still ranks lower than most in the region.
