2019 Global Resilience Index rankingPublished by FM Global, the Global Resilience Index is designed to help chief financial officers (CFOs) and other business leaders choose resilience as they manage their own risk and site facilities, extend supply chains and cultivate customers. The index combines 12 core drivers of resilience structured into three main categories:

  • economic (productivity, political risk, oil intensity, urbanisation rate)
  • risk quality (exposure to natural hazards, natural hazard risk quality, fire risk quality, inherent cyber risk)
  • supply chain (control of corruption, quality of infrastructure, corporate governance, supply chain visibility)

The study provides ranked scores for 130 countries and territories around the world. Norway is considered as the most resilient country, before Denmark and Switzerland.
