where interest?

summary
TAIPEI, Jan 22 (AFP) - Taiwan and Singapore are the best 
overall places for investment in Asia and are tied for 
second place worldwide after Switzerland, according to a 
report released by the Economics Ministry here on Sunday. 
 The report, based on a November assessment by the US- 
based Business Environment Risk Intelligence SA (BERI) of 
investment opportunities and business environment in 50 
countries, put Singapore and Taiwan in second place after 
Switzerland as the most profitable places to conduct 
business. 
 Taiwan ranked third in the operations risk index part 
of the report behind Switzerland and Singapore, but was 
in first place in the sub-categories of balance of 
payments and economic growth. 
 The overall assessment is calculated primarily by 
adding three ratings for each of the 50 countries 
covered: operation risk index, political risk index and 
remittance and repatriation of profits factors. 
 In political stability, Taiwan ranked fourth, after 
Switzerland, Singapore and Austria. It ranked third in 
the remittance and repatriation categories, which include 
a country's foreign exchange payment capablity. 
 Among the major Asian countries assessed in the 
report, Taiwan, Singapore and Japan were deemed to have 
low-risk investment. 
 Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines were high-risk 
areas.
Personal response
I think Switzerland is one of the best country in the world. For investment in Asia Singapore is very interest. Because their stability politic and I agree about Thailand is high-risk areas .I hope one day Thailand will be like Switzerland for investment.
