Morocco has been ranked 65th globally in the newly developed Periodic Table of States (PTOS), a worldwide stability index created by Indian political analyst Barach Ghana, director of Alphageo for Future Studies and Research. With a score of 13.79 points, Morocco tops North Africa in terms of stability.
Algeria follows in 69th place, while Egypt ranks 78th. Tunisia and Mauritania occupy the 88th and 138th positions, respectively. Libya, grappling with prolonged political instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, ranks among the lower-tier countries.
Within the Arab League, Saudi Arabia leads the rankings at 24th globally, followed by the UAE (27th), Qatar (34th), Kuwait (53rd), and Bahrain (60th).
The PTOS evaluates stability based on two sub-indices. The first, “State Power,” extends beyond military strength, population, and territorial size to assess industrial infrastructure, energy resources, public debt, investment climate, and currency stability. Morocco scored 8.72 points in this category.
The second sub-index, “State Condition,” considers governance efficiency, institutional resilience, rule of law, public service quality, and food security, where Morocco received 5.07 points.
Switzerland tops the global ranking, followed by Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and the United States, which ranks among the top 10 most stable nations. Conversely, Eritrea, Vatican City, and South Sudan rank among the least stable regions.
Barach Ghana emphasized that PTOS provides a more scientific approach to measuring stability, diverging from traditional rankings based on wealth or democratic status.
“Many highly ranked nations in this index are not necessarily democracies by Western standards, which challenges the conventional metrics of governance evaluation,” he noted.
