Morocco Ranks 65th in Global Stability Index, Leading North Africa
Rabat, Morocco – Morocco has secured the 65th position globally in the newly developed Periodic Table of States (PTOS), a comprehensive 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 stands as the most stable nation in North Africa.

- Algeria – 69th place

- Tunisia – 88th place
- Mauritania – 138th place
Meanwhile, Libya, still grappling with political instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, ranks among the least stable nations.

- Saudi Arabia – 24th globally
- UAE – 27th
- Qatar – 34th
- Kuwait – 53rd
- Bahrain – 60th
How Stability is Measured
The PTOS evaluates stability based on two key sub-indices:
1. State Power (8.72 points for Morocco)
This sub-index goes beyond military strength, population, and territorial size, assessing factors such as:
- Industrial infrastructure
- Energy resources
- Public debt
- Investment climate
- Currency stability
2. State Condition (5.07 points for Morocco)
This category evaluates:
- Governance efficiency
- Institutional resilience
- Rule of law
- Public service quality
- Food security
Global Stability Leaders and Laggards
Switzerland tops the global ranking, followed by Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and the United States, all securing positions in the top 10. On the other end of the spectrum, Eritrea, Vatican City, and South Sudan rank among the least stable regions.
A New Approach to Measuring Stability
Barach Ghana emphasized that the PTOS offers a more scientific approach to measuring stability, moving beyond traditional wealth or democratic benchmarks.
“Many highly ranked nations in this index are not necessarily democracies by Western standards, which challenges the conventional metrics of governance evaluation,” he noted.
