Legatum Institute | Key Findings from the 2020 Legatum Prosperity Index @legatuminstitute | Uploaded November 2020 | Updated October 2024, 14 hours ago.
The 2020 Prosperity Index is published at an extraordinary moment in time as COVID-19 continues to dominate our political, economic, and social debate.

In the decade prior to the pandemic, global prosperity had risen continuously, with 147 out of 167 countries seeing an improvement. People’s lived experiences had improved, due to better health, education, and living conditions; and economies had become more open.

However, the Index also reveals a number of challenges. The improvement in global prosperity seen in the last 12 months had not kept pace with the progress of the previous two years, and stagnating personal freedom and governance are holding back further growth in prosperity.

These are difficult times, but a decade of prosperity growth provides a solid foundation upon which to build for the future.
