- Politics and Freedom: Press freedom index (Freedom House)
20 - The Freedom House Freedom of the Press Survey assesses the degree of print, broadcast, and internet freedom in every country in the world. Ratings are determined by examining three broad categories: the legal environment in which media operate, political influences on reporting and access to information, and economic pressures on content and the dissemination of news. The highest ranked country has the greatest degree of press freedom (index units: 1-30=Free, 31-60=Partly Free, 61-100=Not Free).
Data collected in 2005 Source: Earth Trends - Corruption: Corruption perceptions index (Transparency International)
4.1 - Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index ranks countries in terms of the degree to which corruption is perceived to exist among public officials and politicians, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys. The highest ranked country is the country with the least amount of perceived corruption (index units, 10=least corrupt, 0=most corrupt).
Data collected in 2001 Source: Earth Trends - Country Risk Ratings
A3 - Coface Country Risk Ratings reflects the average level of short-term non-payment risk associated with companies in a particular country. A3 is the third level out of seven possible levels of risk in the order of increasing risk. A1: The steady political and economic environment has positive effects on an already good payment record of companies. Very weak default probability. A2: Default probability is still weak even in the case when one country's political and economic environment or the payment record of companies is not as good as in A1-rated countries. A3: Adverse political or economic circumstances may lead to a worsening payment record that is already lower than the previous categories, although the probability of a payment default is still low. A4: An already patchy payment record could be further worsened by a deteriorating political and economic environment. Nevertheless, the probability of a default is still acceptable. B: An unsteady political and economic environment is likely to affect further an already poor payment record. C: An very unsteady political and economic environment could deteriorate an already bad payment record. D: The high risk profile of a country's economic and political environment will further worsen a generally very bad payment record.

Botswana:
ReplyDeleteW pobliżu miejscowości Orapa i Jwaneng znajdują się bogate złoża diamentów. Botswana jest największym na świecie producentem tego minerału.
Botswana notuje najwyższy wzrost PKB na osobę na świecie. Średni wzrost w latach 1966-1999 wyniósł ponad 9%. Ten spektakularny rozwój Botswana zawdzięcza głównie wydobyciu diamentów.
Jednocześnie:
Botswana boryka się z epidemią AIDS: według szacunków co trzeci mieszkaniec tego państwa jest zarażony wirusem HIV.
Analogii do Polski nie widzę. Same liczby to nie wszystko. Ciekawe jakby wyglądało zestawienie Botswany np. z Bułgarią czy Rumunią :)
Swoją drogą, gdyby Polska była największym na świecie "producentem" diamentów, to podejrzewam, że w statystyce by wyglądała lepiej od Niemiec czy Wielkiej Brytanii.
