Qatar tops MENA in 2025 Global Peace Index
Doha
Qatar continues to make its mark on the global stage, topping the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in the 2025 Global Peace Index, issued by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) in Australia.
Qatar has secured 27th rank globally out of 163 countries included in the report, climbing two positions from its ranking the previous year.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) said this accomplishment builds on Qatar's consistent performance in the Global Peace Index, having maintained the top position in the MENA region from 2015 to 2025.
Qatar also earned high global rankings, outperforming many developed nations due to its strong overall scores.
In the Societal Safety and Security domain, Qatar ranked 8th globally and 1st in the Arab world, placing it among the 10 safest countries worldwide, ahead of many developed countries.
These results reflect Qatar's high levels of security and stability, achieved through a comprehensive framework implemented by the MoI in coordination with various state institutions. This framework ensures enhanced security performance, effective crime prevention, and the protection of lives and property, all in alignment with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
The Ministry has made significant strides in both security and public services, expanding its departments, constructing modern facilities, and upgrading its technological infrastructure to improve operational efficiency and streamline services for citizens and residents.
As part of its crime prevention strategy, the MoI has intensified efforts to bolster community safety and proactively prevent criminal activity, alongside continuous monitoring of the security landscape to address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited to commit crimes.
Additionally, the ministry has prioritised digital transformation, enhancing its security services through the latest communication and information technologies. These upgrades aim to combat emerging forms of crime, particularly cybercrime, while also enabling coordination with relevant agencies to address social concerns and manage public complaints through multiple channels.
The Global Peace Index, published annually by the IEP in partnership with the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Sydney, is developed in collaboration with a network of experts and research institutions. The index evaluates peace levels across countries and regions based on a set of security, social, and political indicators.
