NZ ranked in top 10 'economically free' countries

The survey sought to find a correlation between economic freedom and prosperity.

New Zealand was on par with Ireland. It was behind Hong Kong (1st), Singapore (2nd), Luxembourg (3rd), and Estonia (4th).

The UK was 7th, followed by Iceland and Denmark (8th equal).

The 2005 Index of Economic Freedom survey, published by the Heritage Foundation and The Wall St Journal, analysed the economies of 155 countries.
