The Economic Freedom Index was co-published by The Wall Street Journal and The Heritage Foundation and was started in 1994.

The source considers sub-Saharan Africa without the North African countries as they are included in the MENA region. However, the ranking until 2011 is based on 52 countries on the African continent, and on 53 countries from 2012 onwards.

The Economic Freedom Index is divided into 12 variables grouped into four categories:
1) Rule of law: property rights, judicial effectiveness, and government integrity
2) Government size: tax burden, government spending, and fiscal health
3) Regulatory efficiency: business freedom, labor freedom, and monetary freedom.
4) Market openness: trade freedom, investment freedom, and financial freedom

Ranking: 100 = total economic freedom; 80–99 = free; 70.0–79.9 = mostly free; 60.0–69.9 = moderately free; 50.0–59.9 = mostly unfree; 0–49.9 = repressed; 0 = no economic freedom.
