Complexity TOOLS

WP&C launches the Global Markets Complexity Index, developed for The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal describes the Global Markets Complexity Index (GMCI) as ranking 83 economies on regulatory, operational, and market complexity and helping to "identify which countries have similar operating environments so investors—both corporate and financial—can make more-informed decisions on which countries they will be comfortable or capable of operating in.” CEOWorld Magazine and CFO Magazine featured articles exploring the GMCI's impact and Quartz's coverage framed the GMCI as a new tool to tackle complexity.
