Liechtenstein is not graded in the 2018 Index (click here) because of the unavailability of relevant comparable statistics on all facets of the economy. Despite its small size and lack of natural resources, Liechtenstein has developed into a prosperous, highly industrialized, free-enterprise economy with a vital financial service sector and the world’s third-highest per capita income. The country is closely linked to Switzerland, whose currency it shares, and the European Union. Liechtenstein is a member of the European Free Trade Association, the Schengen Area, and the European Economic Area.

Flexibility and openness to global commerce have been the cornerstones of Liechtenstein’s modern and widely diversified economy. Minimal barriers to trade and investment foster vibrant economic activity, and a straightforward, transparent, and streamlined regulatory system supports an innovative entrepreneurial sector. Banking has benefited from Liechtenstein’s high levels of political and social stability and its sound and transparent judicial system.
