LONDON – Caribbean countries move up the ranks of the Quality of Nationality Index

Most of the Caribbean nations have all moved up the ranking in the Quality of Nationality Index (QNI) which was published in London on Wednesday.

The QNI is the first index of its kind to objectively rank the value of every nationality of the world in terms of legal status in which to develop your talents and business. It uses a wide variety of quantifiable data to determine the opportunities and limitations that our nationalities impose on us. To achieve this, the QNI measures both the internal value of nationality — the quality of life and opportunities for personal growth within a nationality’s country of origin — and the external value of nationality — which identifies the diversity and quality of opportunities that nationalities allow us to pursue outside our country of origin.

Ranking 56th and 57th respectively, Antigua and Barbuda and St. Kitts and Nevis remain in the High Quality tier of the index, moving up two positions to 56th and 57th respectively in the world. Grenada (67th) and St. Lucia (64th) are amongst the Top Risers worldwide, gaining 24 and 22 places respectively to secure 67th and 64th position, moving them from the Medium Quality tier to the High Quality tier on the index. Other Caribbean countries that now enjoy High Quality status are those of the Commonwealth of Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.
