Bangladesh overtakes India in overall Prosperity.
Bangladesh (103rd) ranks above India (106th) in the Prosperity Index for the first time in 2013. Although Bangladesh ’s rank has remained constant since last year, India has declined five places in the same period. India has fallen down the Prosperity Index rankings consistently over the last five years.
Pakistan - 132nd
Pakistan's rank on overall Prosperity declined by one place since 2009 to 132nd.
The Safety & Security sub-index moved down by seven places to 140th, which is due to increases in war casualties and refugees.
The Governance sub-index dropped as well, by four places to 123rd in 2013, given an increase in the perceptions of corruption and reductions of political constraints.
India - 106th
India dropped by fifteen places, to 106th, in overall prosperity.
The Personal Freedom sub-index dropped by forty-five places, to 100th, due to a drop in the tolerance of immigrants and a drop in civic choice variables.
The Safety & Security sub-index dropped by twenty-seven places, to 120th, due to an increase in property being stolen, assault rates, group grievances, and drop in the perception of feeling safe walking home alone at night.
US Drops out of top 20 in the economy sub-index.
This year, the US has moved down four places to 24th in the Economy sub-index. Countries that have overtaken the US in the Economy sub-index include New Zealand (17th) and South Korea (19th), among others.
Eight of the bottom 15 countries on the Personal Freedom sub-index are in the MENA region.
