<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal has scored an overall score of 6.54 (in a scale of 1 to 10 where a higher value indicates a higher level of economic freedom), Nepal ranked 108th out of 159 jurisdictions in this year’s index. With this, Nepal has dropped two places down in the global ranking. Last year, Nepal ranked 106th out of 157jurisdictions with a score of 6.56.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal’s score on size of government has dropped to 7.89 from 8.72 in the last year’s report. Meanwhile, it has climbed on legal system and property rights to 4.79 from 4.33. Similarly, it has climbed on access to sound money to 6.43 to 6.42. Likewise, on the key component, freedom to trade internationally, Nepal has climbed to 6.72 from 6.47. it has climbed on regulation of credit, labour and business to 6.87 from 6.85. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
According to research in top peer-reviewed academic journals, people living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy greater prosperity, more political and civil liberties, and longer lives. For example, countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$41,228 in 2014, compared to US$5,471 for bottom quartile nations. Moreover, the average income in 2014 of the poorest 10 per cent in the most economically free countries (US$11,283) dwarfed the overall average income in the least free countries (US$5,471). And life expectancy is 80.4 years in the top quartile countries compared to 64 years in the bottom quartile.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
“Economic freedom leads to prosperity and a higher quality of life, while the lowest-ranked countries are usually burdened by oppressive regimes that limit the freedom and opportunity of their citizens,” said Fred McMahon, Dr Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom with the Fraser Institute.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Globally, Hong Kong (9.03) again tops the index, continuing its streak of number one rankings, followed by Singapore (8.71), New Zealand (8.35), Switzerland (8.25), Canada (7.98), Georgia (7.98), Ireland (7.98), Mauritius (7.98), and United Arab Emirates (7.98). Australia and the United Kingdom tied for 10th with a score of 7.93. Similarly, other notable rankings include Germany (7.55), Japan (7.42), France (7.30), Russia (6.66), India (6.50), China (6.45) and Brazil (6.27).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Iran, Algeria, Chad, Guinea, Angola, Central African Republic, Argentina, Republic of Congo, Libya and lastly Venezuela are the 10 lowest-ranked countries.<br />

<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal has scored an overall score of 6.54 (in a scale of 1 to 10 where a higher value indicates a higher level of economic freedom), Nepal ranked 108th out of 159 jurisdictions in this year’s index. With this, Nepal has dropped two places down in the global ranking. Last year, Nepal ranked 106th out of 157jurisdictions with a score of 6.56.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal’s score on size of government has dropped to 7.89 from 8.72 in the last year’s report. Meanwhile, it has climbed on legal system and property rights to 4.79 from 4.33. Similarly, it has climbed on access to sound money to 6.43 to 6.42. Likewise, on the key component, freedom to trade internationally, Nepal has climbed to 6.72 from 6.47. it has climbed on regulation of credit, labour and business to 6.87 from 6.85. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
According to research in top peer-reviewed academic journals, people living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy greater prosperity, more political and civil liberties, and longer lives. For example, countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$41,228 in 2014, compared to US$5,471 for bottom quartile nations. Moreover, the average income in 2014 of the poorest 10 per cent in the most economically free countries (US$11,283) dwarfed the overall average income in the least free countries (US$5,471). And life expectancy is 80.4 years in the top quartile countries compared to 64 years in the bottom quartile.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
“Economic freedom leads to prosperity and a higher quality of life, while the lowest-ranked countries are usually burdened by oppressive regimes that limit the freedom and opportunity of their citizens,” said Fred McMahon, Dr Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom with the Fraser Institute.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Globally, Hong Kong (9.03) again tops the index, continuing its streak of number one rankings, followed by Singapore (8.71), New Zealand (8.35), Switzerland (8.25), Canada (7.98), Georgia (7.98), Ireland (7.98), Mauritius (7.98), and United Arab Emirates (7.98). Australia and the United Kingdom tied for 10th with a score of 7.93. Similarly, other notable rankings include Germany (7.55), Japan (7.42), France (7.30), Russia (6.66), India (6.50), China (6.45) and Brazil (6.27).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Iran, Algeria, Chad, Guinea, Angola, Central African Republic, Argentina, Republic of Congo, Libya and lastly Venezuela are the 10 lowest-ranked countries.<br />
Some despotic countries such as North Korea and Cuba can’t be ranked due to lack of data.</p>

Likewise, on the key component, freedom to trade internationally, Nepal has climbed to 6.72 from 6.47. it has climbed on regulation of credit, labour and business to 6.87 from 6.85.
According to research in top peer-reviewed academic journals, people living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy greater prosperity, more political and civil liberties, and longer lives. For example, countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$41,228 in 2014, compared to US$5,471 for bottom quartile nations. Moreover, the average income in 2014 of the poorest 10 per cent in the most economically free countries (US$11,283) dwarfed the overall average income in the least free countries (US$5,471). And life expectancy is 80.4 years in the top quartile countries compared to 64 years in the bottom quartile.
“Economic freedom leads to prosperity and a higher quality of life, while the lowest-ranked countries are usually burdened by oppressive regimes that limit the freedom and opportunity of their citizens,” said Fred McMahon, Dr Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom with the Fraser Institute.
Globally, Hong Kong (9.03) again tops the index, continuing its streak of number one rankings, followed by Singapore (8.71), New Zealand (8.35), Switzerland (8.25), Canada (7.98), Georgia (7.98), Ireland (7.98), Mauritius (7.98), and United Arab Emirates (7.98). Australia and the United Kingdom tied for 10th with a score of 7.93. Similarly, other notable rankings include Germany (7.55), Japan (7.42), France (7.30), Russia (6.66), India (6.50), China (6.45) and Brazil (6.27).
Iran, Algeria, Chad, Guinea, Angola, Central African Republic, Argentina, Republic of Congo, Libya and lastly Venezuela are the 10 lowest-ranked countries.
Some despotic countries such as North Korea and Cuba can’t be ranked due to lack of data.

<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal has scored an overall score of 6.54 (in a scale of 1 to 10 where a higher value indicates a higher level of economic freedom), Nepal ranked 108th out of 159 jurisdictions in this year’s index. With this, Nepal has dropped two places down in the global ranking. Last year, Nepal ranked 106th out of 157jurisdictions with a score of 6.56.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
Nepal’s score on size of government has dropped to 7.89 from 8.72 in the last year’s report. Meanwhile, it has climbed on legal system and property rights to 4.79 from 4.33. Similarly, it has climbed on access to sound money to 6.43 to 6.42. Likewise, on the key component, freedom to trade internationally, Nepal has climbed to 6.72 from 6.47. it has climbed on regulation of credit, labour and business to 6.87 from 6.85. </p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
According to research in top peer-reviewed academic journals, people living in countries with high levels of economic freedom enjoy greater prosperity, more political and civil liberties, and longer lives. For example, countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$41,228 in 2014, compared to US$5,471 for bottom quartile nations. Moreover, the average income in 2014 of the poorest 10 per cent in the most economically free countries (US$11,283) dwarfed the overall average income in the least free countries (US$5,471). And life expectancy is 80.4 years in the top quartile countries compared to 64 years in the bottom quartile.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify"><br />
“Economic freedom leads to prosperity and a higher quality of life, while the lowest-ranked countries are usually burdened by oppressive regimes that limit the freedom and opportunity of their citizens,” said Fred McMahon, Dr Michael A. Walker Research Chair in Economic Freedom with the Fraser Institute.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Globally, Hong Kong (9.03) again tops the index, continuing its streak of number one rankings, followed by Singapore (8.71), New Zealand (8.35), Switzerland (8.25), Canada (7.98), Georgia (7.98), Ireland (7.98), Mauritius (7.98), and United Arab Emirates (7.98). Australia and the United Kingdom tied for 10th with a score of 7.93. Similarly, other notable rankings include Germany (7.55), Japan (7.42), France (7.30), Russia (6.66), India (6.50), China (6.45) and Brazil (6.27).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Iran, Algeria, Chad, Guinea, Angola, Central African Republic, Argentina, Republic of Congo, Libya and lastly Venezuela are the 10 lowest-ranked countries.<br />
Some despotic countries such as North Korea and Cuba can’t be ranked due to lack of data.</p>
