The FM Resilience Index offers insights into a country’s vulnerability to disruptive events as well as its ability to recover swiftly. For the second consecutive year, Luxembourg ranks just behind Denmark, maintaining its position among the world’s most resilient economies.
Geopolitical conflict, cyber and climate resilience
The FM Resilience Index evaluates macroeconomic indicators such as the control of corruption, education, health expenditure, inflation, political risks, productivity and logistics. It also factors in physical risks, including climate risk exposure, cybersecurity, fire risk and seismic risk exposure.
With on-going conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, geopolitical risk remains a key concern in 2025. The index also reflects rising uncertainty linked to technological disruption and uneven progress in tackling inflation.
For the first time, the 2025 edition includes a precise picture of cyber risk – particularly important in the era of artificial intelligence and industrial automation. The report also provides an updated view of countries’ efforts to reduce their climate vulnerability.
