WASHINGTON (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore's economy has been ranked the most free in the world this year in the Heritage Foundation's 2021 Index of Economic Freedom, the second year in a row it topped the list.

The Republic scored 89.7 points, with its overall score having increased by 0.3 points from 2020, primarily because of an improvement in points gained for government spending, the conservative Washington think-tank said on Thursday (March 4).
