![]() Canada top destination for business: Forbes. POSTMEDIA NEWS OCTOBER 4, 2011 Canada is the top global destination for business, according to a new Forbes ranking that touts this country's economic resilience as much of the world battles major financial woes. The top ranking marks a jump for Canada from fourth place in the ranking last year, which was due in large part to scoring higher in the tax category. Tax burden for this year's index in Canada has this country in ninth place, a stark contrast to 2010, when Canada placed 23rd in that category. The report noted the adoption of the HST in Ontario and British Columbia, which has since voted to eliminated the new tax structure. Canada was among the top tier of countries when it came to protecting investors and dealing with red tape, with the report saying it is relatively easy to start a new business in Canada. The Forbes ranking described Canada as "an affluent, high-tech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class," and said that Canada and the U.S. had many similarities, including its "market-oriented economic system, pattern of production and affluent living standards." It stressed that "while the U.S. is paralyzed by fears of a double-dip recession and Europe struggles with sovereign-debt issues," Canada has stayed cool in terms of its economy, with a jump of 3.1 per cent in 2010 and more growth — at 2.4 per cent as forecast by the Royal Bank of Canada — expected in 2011. The Forbes ranking of business destinations factored in 11 criteria for more than 130 countries. Among them we technology; corruption; personal and financial freedom; stock performance; property rights; and taxes. The United States was in 10th place. Top 10 countries for business: 1. Canada 2. New Zealand 3. Hong Kong 4. Ireland 5. Denmark 6. Singapore 7. Sweden 8. Norway 9. United Kingdom 10. United States Source: Forbes |
