From macro challenges such as inflation, healthcare costs, and water use to physical threats like natural catastrophes and cyberattacks, the global risk landscape presents businesses with a diverse array of concerns. To help businesses assess how nations fare when it comes to emerging risks as well as long-known challenges, FM Global produces its annual Resilience Index, which ranks countries across 18 factors using data collected from more than 100,000 global locations. This year's rankings were heavily influenced by wars in Gaza and Ukraine and the ripple effect the fighting has on supply chains, economies, and global organizations. With 2023 being the hottest year on record, climate change and natural catastrophes continue to weigh heavily on the rankings and the minds of business executives as well, according to FM Global. The above slideshow reviews the most resilient nations as well as how they stack up against physical risks such as fires and earthquakes. According to FM Global, countries that rank among the top 50 most resilient recover from property losses 30% faster than other locations. Related: |
