Full analysis: why Niger ranks #119
Why Niger ranks #119
Niger scores 47.8 out of 100 and ranks #119 among 195 countries, between Papua New Guinea above and Laos below. This figure is the Bureau’s single read on national power, built from nine components.
Strengths
The strongest component is Trajectory at 57.6: unemployment near 0.4% — work for whoever wants it; the economy grew 8.4% last year — genuine momentum
Weaknesses
The weakest component is Reach at 8.0: a current-account deficit of $2 billion (11.9% of GDP) — living beyond its means; fertility of 6.5 children per woman — far above replacement, a cradle overflowing faster than schools can keep up
Trajectory
Quarterly momentum reads 0. Jul–Sep 2026 came and went without leaving a mark on the country's trajectory. Continuity, not change, is the story. The Trajectory component itself scores 57.6. On the military board the country stands at 39.5, ranked #59. Head of government: Abdourahamane Tiani (Transitional President).
