The Global Firepower Index (GPI) is a ranking that has been updated annually since 2006. The index attempts to measure the conventional warfare capacity of various countries. Different military, demographic, financial, logistical and geographic factors are included in the index, but not nuclear warfare capacity.
The index has received coverage in various media, including in The Times of India,[1] CNBC,[2] Newsweek,[3] Inquirer[4] and Handelsblatt.[5]
Methodology[edit]
More than 50 statistical indicators are included in the index. These include the manpower, equipment, military budget, natural resources and other factors. The number of nuclear weapons is not included, however, as only the capacity for conventional warfare is calculated. A score is calculated from all indicators, the PowerIndex (PwrIndx). The lower the PwrIndx, the greater the estimated capacity for conventional warfare. The best theoretical score a country can achieve in the Global Firepower Index is 0.[6]
Ranking[edit]
Countries are sorted by their rank in the Global Firepower Index in 2022. In this year, 140 countries were ranked.[6]
