Taiwan takes 3rd place in BERI’s latest global investment report

2022/05/11

Taiwan ranked the third best investment destination among 50 major countries and territories surveyed in the latest Profit Opportunity Recommendation report by U.S.-based Business Environment Risk Intelligence S.A.
 
Scoring 62 out of 100 in the triannual report, Taiwan finished behind Switzerland, 70 and Norway, 67. The country tied with South Korea and led neighbors Singapore, 58; China, 58; and Japan, 55.
 
Taiwan’s 1C ranking—also awarded to 10 other economies including Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and South Korea—was assessed on the basis of its performance in three indexes: Operations Risk, Political Risk, and Remittance and Repatriation Factor. Switzerland was the only country to earn the top 1A rating, with Norway receiving the second best 1B rating.
 
The country finished second in Operations Risk, just behind the U.S. Among the 15 subindexes used to calculate this particular risk, it came out on top in short-term credit; second in communications and transportation, economic growth, enforceability of contracts and professional services and contracts; and third in currency convertibility and labor cost/productivity.
 
Taiwan continued to lead the way in Remittance and Repatriation. Of the four subindexes comprising this category, the country outperformed the world in accumulated international reserves, foreign debt assessment and foreign exchange generation.
