Safety & stability: the quiet factor when choosing a country

When settling or holding assets in a country for many years, safety and stability matter as much as tax or passports — but they are often overlooked because they are hard to "see" straight away.

What is measured

• Personal security & crime rates.
• Political stability, rule of law, conflict risk.
• Resilience to crises & natural disasters.

These factors are part of the Global Safety Index, on the same 0–100 scale so they can be weighed against the other indices in an overall decision.
