Suriname scores strongly in only one area: labor freedom. The country's labor market is flexible, there is no minimum wage, and the non-salary costs of employment are low. Its scores for property rights and government size are above the world average. Foreign companies do not receive equal treatment. Investment is hindered by an unwieldy bureaucracy, a shortage of trained judges to handle commercial disputes, regulatory opacity, and local ambivalence about the necessity of foreign investment. Residents may hold foreign exchange accounts provided that the funds did not come from sales of real estate in Suriname.

Suriname is weak in most areas of economic freedom. Private property is not well protected. Land is state owned, although the law makes property ownership a basic right, there is always a risk that leased land might be expropriated. Settlement of ownership disputes or damage to property takes a long time. Native people assert their historical land rights.
