Note: Changes in rankings between 2014 and 2019 should be interpreted with caution for several reasons. Firstly, a genuine comparison is not possible due to changes in variables and methodology between the 2014 and 2019 editions of the SIGI. Second, there is a difference between the number of countries/territories ranked in 2014 and 2019.

Note by Turkey: The information in this document with reference to “Cyprus” relates to the southern part of the Island. There is no single authority representing both Turkish and Greek Cypriot people on the Island. Turkey recognises the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Until a lasting and equitable solution is found within the context of the United Nations, Turkey shall preserve its position concerning the “Cyprus issue”.

Note by all the European Union Member States of the OECD and the European Union: The Republic of Cyprus is recognised by all members of the United Nations with the exception of Turkey. The information in this document relates to the area under the effective control of the Government of the Republic of Cyprus.
