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.

CBDCs will further fragment the global economy-and could threaten the dollar
Over 130 central banks representing 98 percent of global GDP initiated CBDC programs by end-2023, with divergent regulatory standards emerging along geopolitical lines that will likely fragment cross-border payments, increase costs for businesses and consumers, and potentially challenge dollar dominance globally.

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