I’m curious to hear opinions on how bureaucracy/inefficiency impacts day to day life. We often hear how Western Europe is horrendous with being able to get things done efficiently- but I’m curious to hear for Europe as a whole, are there any exceptions? Would like to hear about the “less popular” expat locations in Europe.
For activities such as getting internet set up in a new flat; or having the heat break and needing the repair company to come look at it- which countries in Europe would be the most efficient?
The 2022 Best Countries Report by WPP and the Wharton School uses 73 attributes for 10 dimensions of “best country”. An analysis of the most relevant categories for new businesses reveals a consistent top 5 countries in the EU’s single market (EU and EEA countries): the Nordic countries plus the Netherlands. https://www.nordichq.com/avoid-bureaucracy-corruption-when-doing-business-in-europe/
