Ahmad Al-Shami:
"With existence of corruption, reforms
would not produce any helpful results" (Yemen Times, 21.8-27.8.00, http://yementimes.com/00/iss34/intrview.htm#1 The Index of Economic Freedom (by Driscoll-Holmes-Kirkpatrick) for 2001 places Yemen in the “Mostly Unfree” category with a rank of 136 (Ranks range from 1 for Hong Kong to 155 for North Korea, Wall Street Journal, Nov. 1, 2000). H. D. Vinod’s trimmed correlation analysis indicates that countries free from economic regulation are less corrupt. After allowing for some exceptions by 20% trimming, the correlation is near 0.9. |
