Canada

Business Indicators

With an overall score of 8.73/12, Canada is progressing toward standard on the economic, legal, and political indicators that make up our Business Index. Canada is a market based economy. In 2004, government consumption equaled 19.3 percent of GDP, and 3.47 percent of government revenues came from state-owned enterprises and government ownership of property. The government encourages foreign investment and provides equal incentives to foreign and domestic investors. However, all foreign investments must be approved by a federal agency. Tax rates are high and Canada has not yet ratified the Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States. Property rights are well protected. Corruption is of no concern, reflected in Canada's ranking of 9th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's 2007 Corruption Perceptions Index.
