Uzbekistan took 60th place in the peace rating

The Institute for Economics and Peace has published the Global Peace Index - 2025 international ranking, compiled annually by the Institute for Economics and Peace. In this analysis, 163 countries were assessed for their level of peace and security, and Uzbekistan, with a score of 1.96, ranked 60th, entering the top half of the ranking.

This global index evaluates countries based on 23 qualitative and quantitative indicators. These include factors such as crime rates, internal and external conflicts, political stability, the scale of armaments, defense spending, and the effectiveness of the law and order system.

The rating scale is from 1 to 5, with a low score indicating a country is considered peaceful and stable. Uzbekistan's score of 1.96 reflects the country's relatively low security environment, internal stability, and crime rates.

- Tajikistan - 72nd place
- Kyrgyzstan - 78th place
- Turkmenistan - 83rd place

These indicators can be an important basis for assessing the trends in peace and stability in the region. The socio-political environment and security policy of each country are reflected in these results.
