U.S. Media: According to the latest "Global Investment Risk and Resilience Index 2026" released by Hanley Burton Consulting, 13 indicators—including political stability, inflation levels, fiscal conditions, currency risk, and governance quality—were comprehensively evaluated across 50 countries to identify the most suitable destinations for capital preservation.
Switzerland leads with 88.4 points, followed by Denmark (85.1 points) and Norway (83.5 points). Among the top ten, nine are European nations, with the sole exception being Singapore (83.4 points), which secured fourth place due to its outstanding governance capabilities and competitive business environment. Sweden, Luxembourg, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, and Iceland rank fifth through tenth, respectively.
The report emphasizes that this index does not predict which market will yield the highest returns, but rather measures each country's resilience against economic and geopolitical pressures. The results show that nations with robust political systems, strict fiscal discipline, and credible monetary policies generally outperform larger economies facing greater uncertainties.
The United States ranks only 24th, primarily due to declining political stability and elevated risk indicators across multiple dimensions. This indicates that, under the current evaluation framework, sheer economic size is no longer a guarantee of investment safety—resilience has become the core competitive advantage.
