2026 edition

Public Administration Index

How well each nation’s public administration works: how it is led, how it makes policy, how it delivers and how it treats its people. One score from 0 to 1, and a rank among 120 nations.

Sample figures. GINC's own index is not yet calculated: these are the 2026 calculations of a rebuilt Blavatnik Index of Public Administration (Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford), taken as they are and standing in for it. The rebuild is not an official release, and its 2026 edition is notional.
