Global summary
The index shows that the economies of low-income countries are highly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. Half of low-income countries and 25% of middle-income countries face the highest risk of COVID-19. Unsurprisingly, higher-income countries generally have better coping capacities, even when hit by an unprecedented global shock. Of the countries facing the highest vulnerability to the crisis, only two – Antigua and Barbuda and the Bahamas – are high-income. Nonetheless, 56% of high-income countries face an intermediate level of risk, along with 63% of middle-income economies and half of the poorest countries.
None of the countries in the Western Balkans or Turkey are among the most vulnerable, but Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia fall into the intermediate vulnerability category. In the Southern Neighbourhood, one country, Lebanon, is in the highest vulnerability group, but most of the others have intermediate vulnerability. Most of the countries in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood and Central Asia (ENCA) are in the intermediate vulnerability group, with the poorest two, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, falling into the highest vulnerability category.
Outside the European Union’s immediate neighbourhood, sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific states are the most vulnerable regions
Around half of the countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific are among the most vulnerable, with almost all of the remainder falling into the intermediate vulnerability category. Latin America and Asia each have a small number of countries in the highest and lowest vulnerability groups, while most of the others exhibit intermediate vulnerability. This reflects the diversity of both regions, which are predominantly middle-income areas, but also contain both low- and high-income countries. (...)
