Neither end of this scale is better. It is context, not a score.

How this is measured

Annual growth in GDP at constant local prices. Neutral because the number is nearly meaningless without its base: 7% growth from a collapse is a recovery, and 1% growth on a large stable economy may be better news. Small economies dependent on one commodity swing wildly here.
