The Lithuanian Free Market Institute is listed among the most prestigious think tanks in the world. This year the University of Pennsylvania\'s (USA) Global Go To Think Tank Index ranked LFMI 11th in Central and Eastern Europe. The Global Go To Think Tank Index evaluates almost 7000 think tanks worldwide.

For a fifth year in a row LFMI has ranked Lithuanian local administrations to show which municipalities are best and which are worst in serving their citizens, fostering good governance and providing conditions to attract investment and create prosperity. This year the capital city of Vilnius has topped the ranking.

In the most recent ranking of the World Economic forum, which compares the competitiveness of 140 countries around the world, Slovakia ranked 67th. Since we ranked 8 places higher the year before, the media presented this as positive news.

Let’s guess: what is the most expensive city in the world? Paris? Moscow? Hong Kong? Zurich? Beijing? New York City? Singapore? Tokio? Or perhaps old, good London? Forget about it! You would probably not look for the most expensive city on the planet in Angola, would you?
