No particular danger for a visitor, and an economic and social situation without notable strain.

Safety 0 + Economy 11 ÷ 2 = 6

The overall score is the average of the two detailed scores below. Each score runs from 0 (nothing to report) to 100 (extreme situation): calm under 30, tension from 30 to 59, crisis from 60. The calculation is fixed and the same for every country: no AI gives its opinion.

Safety on the ground

0/100 Calm

What it measures: the danger for someone travelling to the country right now (crime, terrorism, unrest, disasters, epidemics).

What it does not measure: the state of the economy, daily life for residents or long-term political stability.

CriterionTodayScalePoints
Canadian and US travel advisories“Exercise normal security precautions” · United States: level 1 of 4average of both advisories, from 0 (normal precautions) to 70 (do not travel)0/70

In short: the score comes from travel advisories (0 points out of 70); no ongoing event adds to it.

Where the data comes from: Global Affairs Canada (travel advice) · US Department of State (travel advisories) · GDACS (UN and EU disaster alerts) · WHO (Disease Outbreak News, 30 days) · IODA, Georgia Tech (internet outages) · Cloudflare Radar, outage center (verified internet outages) · Horizon briefing of the day.

Score based on advisories written for foreign travellers: it does not describe everyday life there.

Economy and society

11/100 Calm

What it measures: how fragile the country is: public finances, jobs, prices, lender confidence and protest in the streets.

What it does not measure: the danger for a visitor, nor the future: it is neither a forecast nor financial advice.

average of two measures: our briefings (1 event = 6 points, 5 or more = 20) and the share of protests in GDELT (0 up to 2%, 20 from 10%)0/20

In short: what weighs most is budget deficit. Not weighing: unemployment and protests.

Where the data comes from: IMF, World Economic Outlook (2026 forecasts): debt, deficit, growth, inflation, unemployment · ECB, 10-year government bond yields (October 2026), euro area only · GDELT Project (protest events, 7 days) · Horizon briefings of the last 7 days.

Score calculated on 6 of 7 criteria: the points obtained are scaled to 100.
