First of all, to increase the authority of the country, strengthen its position at the global level and ensure transparency.
In the last 5-10 years, various ratings have become very popular in the world. Especially, international ratings create an opportunity to assess the socio-economic and political situation of countries, the state of infrastructure and digital development, the healthcare system, the quality of public administration, the protection of human rights, and the standard of living of the population.
Now, based on such ratings, the countries of the world are discussing where to direct their funds, with whom to establish partnerships, and even study and choose countries with a favorable environment for investment.
