The country business data transparency index is based on the availability of information about businesses in the country - the more data is available in a particular country, the higher the data transparency level and the higher the country's rank in this table. A higher level of data availability in a country results in a lower trade risk and a higher ranking on the index.

Data Transparency Index has 5 levels (measured in points):

Data transparency level	Amount of points
Very high level	85 - 100
High level	70 - 85
Medium level	50 - 70
Low level	35 - 50
Very low level	0 - 35

A higher index level implies better transparency. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 100 represents maximum transparency and 0 represents minimum transparency.

The Data Transparency Index is provided to clients to help them understand how open a country is in terms of data collection.

It's important to note that as the amount of information available decreases, the risk associated with trade increases - this is because insufficient data makes it challenging to assess the reliability of a company.

The index was originally created by the employees of Professional Partner OÜ (registration number 12569892) for internal use as one of the additional tools for evaluating companies. The data may have a small margin of error. Information in all countries is constantly monitored and updated on our website. The date of the update can be seen at the top of the table.

This table has been prepared for information purposes and Professional Partner OÜ (registration number 12569892) accepts no responsibility.
