The UK is just 10th on the list
The world’s best country to do business in is *drumroll please* Denmark.
On Forbes annual list of the top business destinations, Denmark is first for the second straight year and has appeared on it five times in eight years. It ranks well for personal and monetary freedom as well as low corruption.
The US ranks 22, down four spots from last year. It continues the country’s six-year slide from when it ranked No. 2 in 2009. The U.S. lost ground on taxes and investor protection.
The UK is at the tenth spot with its $2.9 trillion worth GDP.
