Abu Dhabi: The UAE has become the world's fourth best country in terms of reliability of police services in 2010, an international report said.
According to the Global Enabling Trade 2010, released by the World Economic Forum, the UAE came among the top 20 countries in the Enabling Trade Index, leading the region at a very strong 16th position, ahead of the United Kingdom, Chile and the United States.
The UAE also achieved another distinct advantage, ranking fourth in the high levels of physical security.
The report measures levels of violence in each country, including crime rates and threats to security.
Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, described the achievement as an "outcome of the wise policy of the country's leadership and the strategies of the federal government".
The Enabling Trade Index (ETI) was developed within the context of the World Economic Forum's Industry Partnership Programme for the Logistics and Transport sector and was first published in The Global Enabling Trade Report 2008.
The structure of the index reflects the main enablers of trade, breaking them into four overall issue areas, captured in the sub-indexes that are in turn grouped into nine pillars, namely: domestic and foreign market access, efficiency of customs administration, efficiency of import-export procedures, transparency of border administration, availability and quality of transport infrastructure, availability and quality of transport services, availability and use of ICTs, regulatory environment and physical security.
