Singapore amongst world’s safest countries with “very low” disaster, conflict risks: report

Singapore ranked 186 out of 193 countries.

Singapore is amongst the safest countries when it comes to disasters with a “very low” world risk index (WRI) score of 0.80, according to the World Risk Report 2024.

Singapore ranked 186 out of the 193 countries surveyed in the index which covers all member-states of the United Nations and over 99% of the world population.

The index examines five sub-indices that determine the risk factors for each country.

Of the sub-indices, Singapore scored 0.15 for exposure, vulnerability (4.25), susceptibility (3.83), lack of coping capabilities (0.83), and lack of adaptive capabilities (24.11). These scores fall under the 'very low' classification in terms of risk factors.

In addition, Singapore also reported a very low risk of conflict exposure, scoring 0.1. This includes battles, remote violence and explosions, riots, and violence against civilians.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
