Global Terrorism Index (GTI) - 2023.

The Global Terrorism Index is an annual ranking produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace. The GTI ranks 163 countries based on four indicators weighted over five years. A country’s annual GTI score is based on a unique scoring system to account for the relative impact of incidents in the year. The four factors counted in each country’s yearly score are:

• total number of terrorist incidents in a given year
• total number of fatalities caused by terrorists in a given year
• total number of injuries caused by terrorists in a given year
• total number of hostages caused by terrorists in a given year

The index provides a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patterns in terrorism since 2000. It produces a composite score in order to provide an ordinal ranking of countries on the impact of terrorism.

The GTI is based on data from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) created by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the University of Maryland.

Afghanistan remains the country most impacted by terrorism for the fourth consecutive year, despite attacks and deaths falling by 75 per cent and 58 per cent, respectively, the tenth Global Terrorism Index (GTI) report showed. Sri Lanka ranked 29th on the index.
