Luxembourg ranks as 2nd most resilient economy in the world

Luxembourg retains its place on the podium of the 2025 FM Global Resilience Index, which provides a comprehensive risk assessment of 130 countries and territories.

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.

Top scores for Luxembourg

Luxembourg achieved an impressive overall score of 99.5, second only to Denmark (100), and ahead of Norway (98.4), Switzerland (97.9), Singapore (97.6), and Sweden (95.1).

The country scored particularly high in the following areas:

  • Productivity (100)
  • Seismic risk exposure (100)
  • Water stress (99.9)
  • Inflation (99.6)
  • Internet usage (99.3)
  • Greenhouse gas emissions (99)
