The latest Fortune coverage of Steve Hanke’s 2025 Misery Index highlights a widening global divergence in economic wellbeing. Covering 178 economies, the index combines inflation, unemployment, lending rates, and real GDP per capita growth to measure economic strain.

Venezuela ranks as the world’s most distressed economy, reflecting persistent macroeconomic instability, with Taiwan is at the opposite end of the spectrum, ranking the least “miserable” economy in 2025.

Its score of 2.1 places it at the top of the index for a second consecutive year, supported by strong real GDP per capita growth and stable macroeconomic conditions, with low inflation, contained unemployment, income growth, and moderate interest rates collectively underpinning its position.

The top ten economies are Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Ireland, Côte d’Ivoire, Macau, Japan, Qatar, Burkina Faso, and Guinea-Bissau.
