Full analysis: why Maldives ranks #162
Why Maldives ranks #162
Maldives scores 23.1 out of 100 and ranks #162 among 195 countries, between Central African Republic above and Eswatini below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.
Strengths
The strongest component is Sovereignty at 57.5: inflation tamed at 1.4%; unemployment near 4.7% — work for whoever wants it
Weaknesses
The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: a current-account deficit of $1 billion (18.0% of GDP) — living beyond its means; few natural resources to fall back on
Trajectory
Quarterly momentum reads 0. No single event defined Jul–Sep 2026. The country's position is the product of long-cycle forces — geography, trade, neighbours — all of which held steady. The Trajectory component itself scores 53.8. On the military board the country stands at 32.4, ranked #115. Head of government: Mohamed Muizzu (President).
