In the process of nations’ well-being economic freedom is considered one of the prominent key factors that actively take part in economic progress.

For both countries, the results exhibit positive and statistically significant hookup in freedom-growth. The study has also suggested strategies to enhance growth via accelerating economic freedom in both countries.
