![](https://www.epicenternetwork.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/NewEurope_1330x770-829x480.jpg)
Overall, the EU has an economic freedom score of 7.78 out of 10, which has been stable for the past decade. To put this in perspective, if the EU was a country, it would jointly rank 35th with Peru, and marginally above Jamaica and Bulgaria. Compared to, say, the U.S. which ranks 6th, the EU’s score is feeble at best.
