How do we measure a concept as profound and multi-dimensional as prosperity?
At the Prosperity Institute, this question has guided our work since 2007, through 16 editions of the Legatum Prosperity Index™. Last year, in 2024, we took a step back — not only to reassess our research, but to reflect on our institute’s deeper purpose. As a result, we renewed our mission and changed our name to better align with our commitment to advancing prosperity in all its forms.
Instead of releasing a 2024 edition of our Legatum Prosperity Index™, we paused to reexamine prosperity at its core — its meaning, foundation, and the most effective ways to measure it. Our revitalised focus is not just on our institute’s core values, but on proven factors that have historically fostered prosperous nations. As part of this effort, we are also integrating methodological and technological advancements in order to enhance clarity, relevance, and impact. The upcoming 2025 edition of the Index — along with other exciting new tools — will reflect these transformative efforts.
We are eager for the road ahead and assure readers that these improvements will be well worth the wait.
