Stability Score?How the stability score is computedA weighted composite of seven pillars— conflict intensity, event volatility, arms activity, economic health, market stress, sanctions exposure, and humanitarian proxy. Each pillar is scored 0–100 (higher = healthier). The composite is weighted (conflict 25%, economy 20%, events 15%, the rest 10% each) and recomputed daily from strategic events, World Bank indicators, arms-transfer data, and sanctions records.

Risk tier: Critical < 25 · High 25–50 · Elevated 50–75 · Stable≥ 75.

Ranked: The World's Fastest-Growing Economies - Voronoi by Visual Capitalist

The International Monetary Fund projects global economic growth at 3.1% for 2026, with Guyana leading fastest-growing economies at 22.3% due to oil expansion, while Taiwan ranks second at 10.7%, driven by artificial intelligence investment and technology demand across divergent regional trajectories.

+Methodology · how this profile is built

This profile draws from four data tiers. Baseline facts (geography, languages, religion) are from the CIA World Factbook snapshot of January 2026 — the final snapshot before the website was retired. Economic indicators refresh daily from the World Bank. Events, conflicts, dispatches, and entity mentions flow continuously from our continuous intelligence graph — sources come online as we add them. Intelligence briefs are generated daily under ICD 203 analytic-tradecraft standards.

Coverage of Guyana will sharpen as we add local-language sources. Every field above carries a provenance chip so you can judge freshness for yourself.
