This Week’s Spotlight Story

A deep dive into the headline that defined market conversations.

India ranks 16th among 154 countries on the Responsible Nations Index

India has gained a noteworthy position by ranking 16th out of 154 countries in the first-ever Responsible Nations Index (RNI), a new international index developed to understand how countries use their power responsibly with respect to their citizens, the environment, and the world at large. The framework of the index was launched by the World Intellectual Foundation (WIF), and it relies on the most widely accepted international data sources, like the World Bank, the United Nations, and the World Justice Project, to measure the behaviour of nations in three dimensions: internal responsibility, environmental responsibility, and international behaviour. Singapore topped the list, followed by Switzerland and Denmark.

The RNI highlights that economic power does not necessarily lead to sound national conduct, as many developing countries perform better than their richer counterparts in core areas such as social justice, environmental protection, and support for peace. China ranked 68th and the United States 66th, indicating that economic or military power does not necessarily lead to sound global responsibility rankings. In the case of India, the high ranking indicates progress in healthcare, social equity, environmental policies, and people-centred governance, but also highlights the areas where we still need to focus to achieve sustainable and balanced growth.
