The 10 factors that determine a country’s brand

Why is Cameroon seen as the 85th best country in the world in 2024?

People surveyed for Best Countries were asked how closely they associated 73 attributes with a range of countries. These attributes were then grouped into 10 categories that were used to calculate the Best Countries ranking.

The weighting of each category in the final index is determined by the strength of its correlation to per capita GDP and forecast GDP for 2027.
