COPENHAGEN: Legatum Institute’s 2014 Prosperity Index ranked Denmark as the fourth most prosperous country in the world, trailing only Norway, Switzerland and New Zealand. The rankings are based on eight variables of a country’s prosperity performance.
Denmark’s best performance was in the entrepreneurship and opportunity index, where it ranked second behind only neighbouring Sweden. The study pointed to the country’s low business start-up costs, estimated at just 0.2 percent of gross national income. Denmark’s worst performance came in the economy index, ranking 18th.
