13th January 2011, print.dailymirror.lk

Sri Lanka has been rated as one of the 'most improved countries in the world in economic freedom' apart from Tonga, according to latest Index of Economic Freedom release yesterday by The Heritage Foundation and The Wall Street Journal.

Two-thirds of the countries in the Asia Pacific region improved this year, and the region again boasted the world's top two overall finishers and the leaders in six of the Index's 10 component categories. Hong Kong led in four categories, Singapore in one and New Zealand in another. Sri Lanka and Tonga were among the most-improved countries in the world in economic freedom, and New Zealand remained the least-corrupt country worldwide.

North Korea was ranked as the world's least-free country - economically and otherwise and Nepal's overall score declined by a region-worst 2.6 points because of deterioration in freedom from corruption, property rights and investment freedom categories.
