Libya Fails to make it into Prosperity Index
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

By John Lee.

The Legatum Institute has just issued its latest Prosperity Index, but has again been unable to include a ranking for Libya due to a lack of available data.

The annually-produced index ranks countries in eight categories including economic success, opportunity, health, and personal freedom.

Stephan Clarke, Programme Manager in the Legatum Institute's Prosperity Index team, told Libya Business News:

"Libya is not included in the Prosperity Index because of a lack of data. Nevertheless, next year we will again be assessing which new countries can be included, and will see if Libya can be one of them".

Norway finished highest on this year's index for the seventh year in a row, with Switzerland ranking 2nd for the third year in a row, while Denmark has risen from fourth to third since last year.

The least prosperous country is the Central African Republic, which came just below Afghanistan and Haiti.

Nathan Gamester, Director of the Prosperity Index at the Legatum Institute, said:

“The Prosperity Index tells us that human progress goes beyond economics. Norway and other countries at the top of the Index provide opportunity and freedom to their citizens, access to quality healthcare and education, and provide safe environments for people to flourish in.

"By contrast those countries or regions of the world where people feel unsafe, where they are forced to flee from their homes, and where the education and healthcare systems are failing do not provide prosperity to their citizens. Sadly this year the Prosperity Index reveals that the world is becoming an increasingly dangerous place.

"A dramatic decline in Safety & Security in Africa and the Middle East threatens to undermine prosperity across the world. Many European countries are still struggling to grapple with unemployment. The Prosperity Index shows that the world is becoming more prosperous, but ominous developments suggest that this cannot be taken for granted.”
