THE ROLE OF GLOBAL ECONOMIC INDICES IN ASSESSING INVESTMENT ATTRACTIVENESS: INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND ANALYSIS OF INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS
Keywords:
global economic indices, investment attractiveness, institutional quality, foreign direct investment, competitiveness, economic freedom.Abstract
Global economic indices have become essential analytical instruments for assessing countries’ investment attractiveness in the context of globalization and increasing capital mobility. This article examines the role of major global economic indices—such as the Global Competitiveness Index, Economic Freedom Index, Doing Business Index, and Global Innovation Index—in shaping investor perceptions and influencing foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Particular attention is paid to institutional factors, including governance quality, rule of law, regulatory efficiency, and innovation capacity. Based on international experience, the study highlights the strong relationship between institutional development and investment attractiveness and discusses the practical implications of index-based assessments for economic policy.
