The year 2016 was filled with challenges across the globe. Natural disasters, political upheaval and terror attacks were among the most prominent challenges. With the number of challenges likely to expand in 2017, businesses need to know how they can overcome future disruptions across the world. 

The 2017 FM Global Resilience Index ranks 130 countries and territories by three factors: economic, supply chain and risk index. Each factor is based on four drivers influencing each factor. These combine to form the composite index, which is the basis of each countries score and rank. Scores are bound on a scale of 0 to 100, with 0 representing the lowest resilience and 100 being the highest.
