South Korea · Governance · WGI six-dimension mean

## What this measures

One number for the quality of South Korea's institutions — the equal-weighted mean of the World Bank's six governance estimates (requires at least five).

## Why it matters

Institutions decide whether growth survives a shock. It is the slowest-moving input to Country Strength and the heaviest-weighted one.

## How to read it

Zero is the world average. A country above +1 sits among the best-governed quarter of economies.

## What it does not say

An average of perception indices; each carries a wide margin of error, and averaging does not remove shared biases in the underlying surveys.
