Forbes ranks Ireland highly

Ireland is the fourth best country in the world in which to do business and ranks top of the pile in terms of personal freedom, according to Forbes’ annual rankings.

Described as a small, modern, and trade-dependent economy, Ireland ranks highly across many of the 11 metrics, with only Denmark, Hong Kong, and New Zealand faring better.

The US business magazine’s annual Best Countries for Business grading takes into account property rights, innovation, taxes, technology, and stock market performance.
