Signal GOI indicators are drawn from the World Bank, the IMF, and Transparency International

Summary

The Global Opportunity Index does not collect its own data but assembles indicators produced by outside institutions. The report names the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and Transparency International among its internationally recognized sources. These indicators are grouped into five broad categories and fourteen subcategories to make the results easier to read. Relying on such bodies is presented as the index's guarantee that countries are measured on a like-for-like basis. The same principle underlies the 2026 decision to replace discontinued Doing Business measures with the World Bank's new Business Ready data.
