Overview
Grenada's regulatory quality stood at 0.81 in 2025, a rise of +0.50 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.81 by 2025. Grenada ranked 47th globally.
Grenada’s regulatory quality score has risen markedly over the 26‑year series, climbing from 0.55 in 1996 to an all‑time peak of 0.81 in 2025, the highest figure recorded for the country and the level that places it 47th globally. The upward trajectory follows a sharp trough of –0.29 in 2019, suggesting that recent reforms have substantially improved the perception of rule‑of‑law enforcement, policy consistency and government oversight. Grenada’s 2025 score sits just below Saudi Arabia’s 0.84 and Chile’s 0.82, and marginally above Guam’s 0.80, indicating that its regulatory environment now rivals that of higher‑income peers despite its small size. The sustained improvement reflects targeted institutional upgrades and greater alignment with international standards, yet the modest gap to leading peers implies further scope for enhancing transparency and reducing bureaucratic burdens. Continued commitment to these reforms should keep the score on an upward path, potentially lifting Grenada into the top‑40 by the next assessment cycle.
