If you suddenly have a feeling that life has stopped this year, we are quick to dispel these feelings! New trends are still rapidly replacing old ones. This is noticeable in all areas, including investment.

As a technology hub in Asia, the Philippines has ranked as the seventh-best country for investment after the pandemic.
The eighth-place is occupied by the United States of America. Despite having the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the world, the country is still in the top 10 best countries for business and investment in terms of key comfort and safety criteria. At the same time, of course, it’s worth noting that the analysis was carried out before the crisis point in the pandemic, so you can’t be sure that the situation won’t change, say, in a year.
The fifth Asian country, Malaysia, has entered the top 10 with 81,021 points, which is the best indicator in the institutional structure. And finally, the Czech Republic takes the last place in the CEOWORLD rating. This is attractive to investors and businesses from various points of view, especially due to its geographical location surrounded by influential European neighbors. Together with the CEOWORLD study, an analysis of the best countries for real estate investment was conducted as well. The results were shared by the specialists of Remote Ventures.
