Table C.1 presents the list of 34 risks that were incorporated into the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Executive Opinion Survey (EOS), which was administered between March and June 2025. The risks are comparable to those in the Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS) 2025-2026 but are applied at a more granular level to reflect the possible short-term and country-level manifestations of global risks.

To ensure legibility, the names of some of the global risks have been abbreviated in the figures throughout this report. The portion of the full name used in the abbreviation is in bold.

Table C.2 presents the top five risks for each of the 116 economies surveyed.

“Risk 1” indicates the most frequently selected risk in each economy. Tied risks are presented in alphabetical order, with the tie indicated by numbering.

Over 11,000 respondents were presented with the following question: “Which five risks are the most likely to pose the biggest threat to your country in the next two years?” and were asked to select these in the list of 34 risks listed in Table C.1.

For the purposes of more intuitive visual representation of results in the report, risks that were selected by zero respondents within a country tie last at #34. Further, to analyse the results of country or economy groups (such as the G20 or EU), country-level results are aggregated by taking a simple average of the ranking of the risk (from 1-34) for the countries or economies included in the group.
