Bangladesh has moved up three places in the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) from the previous year. Last year, Bangladesh was ranked 32nd in this index, but this year it is 35th. This improvement is due to the decrease in the impact of terrorism in Bangladesh in terms of terrorist activities.<\/p>\n
This information was revealed in the Global Terrorism Index-2025 released by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), a Sydney-based research institute in Australia, on Wednesday. Since 2012, the IEP has been publishing this index every year for a period of five years, calculating scores based on the main global trends and characteristics of terrorism around the world.<\/p>\n
The 12th edition of the Institute for Economics and Peace said that Bangladesh had a lower impact of terrorism in 2024 compared to the regional averages of India, Pakistan and South Asia.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh scored 3.03 in the 2025 GTI index. On a scale of zero to 10, a country is considered to have no impact of terrorism in that country. In addition, a country is considered to have the highest incidence of terrorism in that country if it scores 10.<\/p>\n
This year, the Institute for Economics and Peace has ranked 100 countries out of 163. Bangladesh is ranked 35th in the index with a score of 3.03. Last year, Bangladesh was ranked 32nd in this global terrorism index.<\/p>\n
The Institute for Economics and Peace has prepared this global terrorism index based on the statistics of terrorist attacks, deaths or injuries in attacks and hostages taken by terrorists in a year around the world.<\/p>\n
The IEP has identified a significant increase in terrorist activities in Pakistan as the primary reason for the poor ranking of the South Asian region in the global terrorism index.<\/p>\n
The IEP said that the South Asian region has improved due to the decrease in terrorist activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The report said that the worst GTI scores in this region are Afghanistan and Pakistan. These two countries are among the ten countries with the worst terrorism situation in the world.<\/p>\n
The index says that Pakistan is the most terrorist country in the South Asian region. The country’s score is 8.374. At the same time, Pakistan is in second place in the global terrorism index. Afghanistan is second only to Pakistan in the Global Terrorism Index with a score of 7.262. India is ranked 14th in the Global Terrorism Index with a score of 6.411.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
