The Philippines improved* three spots to 64th out of 179 countries in the 2024 Fragile States Index (FSI) released by the American nonprofit organization The Fund for Peace. A higher FSI rank and score indicate greater instability. The country scored 75.1 (the worst is 120), one of the worst performing in the region.
