Romania shows improvements on five of six Worldwide Governance Indicators

Romania has scored better on five of the six indicators of World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators for 2013. Romania recorded higher values on political stability and the absence of violence, governing efficacy, regulation quality, the state and corruption control than in 2012. It only scored worse on representation and responsibility, which reflects the perception on citizens’ participation in naming the Government, as well as the freedom of speech and media freedom. The Worldwide Governance Indicators index measures governing quality across the globe, and measures the six arrears for 200 economies. The index has been calculated yearly since 1996. editor@romania-insider.com
