For the third year in a row, Switzerland was ranked the best country in the world. The rankings, released Tuesday, were determined by U.S. News & World Report, which partnered with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
The rankings, which examined 89 countries, considered factors such as quality of life, entrepreneurship, and power. Each country received scores on 10 categories, including business-friendliness and agility, which U.S. News describes as being 'most adaptable to change.'
David Reibstein, professor of marketing at the Wharton School, said, 'The Best Countries report speaks to the value of having a strong global image as nations compete for foreign trade, tourists and socioeconomic influence.'
The Commonwealth nation [Canada] fell to fourth in 2024. The rankings indicated that European countries tend to offer the best quality of life, while the US excels at power and agility.
