POWER --/100 — The Magna Power score is our 0–100 composite of structural national power — nine components, 135 indicators. It is the Bureau's own assessment, not a mirror of World Bank or CIA figures.
Momentum 0 — Quarterly momentum: the Bureau's read on the country's trajectory over the last quarter, from −10 (deteriorating fast) to +10 (accelerating).
A quiet quarter: no major shocks, no breakthroughs. The country's trajectory is set by structural forces larger than any single season.
The honest reading is steadiness — neither crisis nor windfall — with the long currents of demography, trade and institutions deciding more than any three months.
- What our model rewards: inflation tamed at 1.1%
- What drags it down: a current-account deficit of $0 billion (19.5% of GDP) — living beyond its means; few natural resources to fall back on
Timber.
Energy is the physical base of economic power — what a country can generate, move and burn decides what it can build, sell and defend.
| Electricity access | 94.2% (2022 est.) |
|---|---|
| Installed capacity mix (CIA) | fossil fuels: 98.2% of total installed capacity (2023 est.); solar: 1.7% of total installed capacity (2023 est.); wind: 0.1% of total installed capacity (2023 est.) |
| Energy consumption per capita (CIA) | 41.703 million Btu/person (2023 est.) |
| Primary energy consumption (OWID) | 1.4 TWh (2023) |
| Energy per capita (OWID) | 12,226 kWh per person (2023) |

Trade shows what the world buys from a country and what the country must buy from the world — the balance between the two is a direct measure of economic leverage.
| Exports | $858.949 million (2024 est.) |
|---|---|
| Imports | $990.587 million (2024 est.) |
| Trade balance (calculated) | Deficit of $131.6 million (2024), calculated from the CIA export and import figures above. |
| Key industries | food and beverages, textiles, light assembly operations, tourism, construction, education, call-center operations |
