Global Terrorism Index 2022 report published

The Global Terrorism Index (GTI) is a comprehensive study analysing the impact of terrorism for 163 countries covering 99.7 per cent of the world’s population.

The GTI report is produced by the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) using data from Terrorism Tracker and other sources. [https://www.economicsandpeace.org/ ]

The GTI produces a composite score so as to provide an ordinal ranking of countries on the impact of terrorism.

The GTI scores each country on a scale from 0 to 10; where

  • 0 represents no impact from terrorism and
  • 10 represents the highest measurable impact of terrorism.

Given the significant resources committed to counter terrorism by governments across the world, it is important to analyse and aggregate the available data to better understand its various properties.

One of the key aims of the GTI is to examine these trends. It also aims to help inform a positive, practical debate about the future of terrorism and the required policy responses.
