Bangladesh improves in Global Terrorism Index

The impact of terrorism in Bangladesh has been reported to be "low" on a terrorism scale as per the latest edition of the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2025, which provides a comprehensive summary of the key global trends and patterns in terrorism since 2012.
Even the country saw a lower impact of terrorism than in India, Pakistan, and the South Asian regional average in 2024, according to 12th edition of the annual report released by the Institute for Economics & Peace today (5 March). Bangladesh scored 3.03 on the 2025 GTI index, where a score of zero indicates no impact and ten represents the highest measurable impact. This placed the country at 35th among 163 nations, which were placed in 100 spots in the report.
The latest position is an improvement from last year 32nd place.
The GTI is the most comprehensive resource on global terrorism trends and uses multiple factors to calculate its score, including the number of incidences, fatalities, injuries and hostages, and combines it with conflict and socioeconomic data to provide a holistic picture of terrorism.
