Mexico has dropped one position in the FM Resilience Index 2025, ranking 76th. Denmark leads the ranking due to its high productivity, education level, and robust cybersecurity. The insurer FM Global published the twelfth edition of its index, which evaluates the ability of 130 countries and territories to withstand and recover from crises and disasters.
According to the report, Mexico has maintained a stable position over the past five years but has experienced significant declines in certain key indicators. For example, in inflation, Mexico has fallen 32 positions to rank 94th. Despite this, the country remains in the upper half of the ranking in factors such as health spending, education, greenhouse gas emissions, urbanization rate, and climate risk quality.
A notable improvement for Mexico has been in political risk, rising seven positions to rank 101st, although it still remains among the lowest in this aspect. The inclusion of exclusive FM data in the evaluation of cyber risk is a novelty in the FM Resilience Index 2025, where Brazil leads in Latin America followed by Mexico in 79th place globally.
This positioning ahead of other countries in the region such as Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina but below Brazil highlights the need to strengthen cybersecurity in Mexico in an increasingly digitalized global environment.
The FM Resilience Index 2025 is crucial for global companies as it allows them to assess risks and make informed decisions regarding expansions, supplier selection, and risk mitigation strategies. According to Monica Yasutomi from FM Global, Mexico's positioning in the index reflects both its strengths and challenges, emphasizing the importance of carefully assessing these factors when making strategic decisions.
After Denmark, the following nations in the ranking are Luxembourg in second place, followed by Norway, Switzerland, Singapore, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Belgium, and the United States (the central region of this country).
