Nation brand value, as defined by Brand Finance, is the monetary value of a country’s reputation and image, shaped by its economic activity and international standing. This assessment is heavily influenced by the Global Soft Power Index (GSPI), which reflects the perception of a nation in the world. Brand Finance uses data from authoritative sources such as the IMF, the World Bank and the United Nations to assess the financial strength of nation brands.
