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).

The quarter passed without decisive turns. Governance continued, markets functioned, and the score reflects that uneventfulness.

For countries like this, the real story is always the slow one — and this quarter added no new chapter to it.

• What our model rewards: inflation tamed at 3.6%; GDP per capita of $31,300 (PPP) — prosperity far above the world average
• What drags it down: a current-account deficit of $0 billion (15.9% of GDP) — living beyond its means; few natural resources to fall back on

Energy is the physical base of economic power — what a country can generate, move and burn decides what it can build, sell and defend.
