International Analysis Ranks Hungary among the Safest Countries in the World

Hungary is included in the safest 6% of countries in the world, says Géza Sebestyén, Head of the Economic Policy Workshop at Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), on his Facebook page, drawing attention to the World Risk Report 2024.

The report has been published in cooperation with the Institute for International Law of Peace and Conflict (IFHV) at Ruhr University Bochum since 2018. The World Risk Report aims to help shed light on the links between natural events, climate change, development, and preparedness at a global level and draw forward-looking conclusions for aid measures, policy, and reporting.

The 2024 edition of the World Risk Report covers 193 countries, including all United Nations member states and 99% of the world’s population.

In 2024, the risk hotspots continue to be in North and South America and Asia, where eight of the ten countries with the highest risk scores are located, according to the study. The top 10 countries with the highest risk have changed only slightly: Mexico and Colombia swap places, with Colombia now having the highest risk on the American continent. According to the analysis, the riskiest country in Europe is Italy, which ranks 48th in the list of countries. Germany improved slightly by four places and is now ranked 98th in the world with a risk score of 4.1, placing it in the middle of the global ranking.

Hungary is ranked 183rd out of 193 countries in the world on the list of the riskiest countries,

This means that Hungary is among the safest six percent of countries in the world; in other words, in the same category as Monaco, Luxembourg, or even Denmark. Based on the study, Hungary is less susceptible to risks, less vulnerable, and very resilient.
