What's changed since last year?

The Global Terrorism Index 2016 provides a comprehensive insight into current terrorist trends and activities. Just some of the key findings from this year's report include:
  • Seventy-six countries improved their scores in the 2016 GTI, while 53 countries deteriorated.
  • Iraq and Nigeria recorded the biggest decreases in the number of deaths, constituting a 32% reduction from the previous year.
  • The global economic impact of terrorism reached US$89.6 billion in 2015.
This year’s findings show a complex picture of the changing trends of terrorism. While there was a notable fall in the number of deaths attributed to terrorist incidents in 2015 when compared to the previous year - the first decline since 2010, the overall GTI score deteriorated by 6% due to many countries experiencing record levels of terrorism.
