New Delhi [India], June 25: India has secured an impressive 3rd place globally for Economic Opportunity in the 2025 World Citizenship Index (WCI), marking a significant milestone in its global economic reputation.
The ranking, released in the latest edition of the World Citizenship Report published by CS Global Partners, places India ahead of several major economies including Australia, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, and multiple European nations.
Micha Rose Emmett, CEO of CS Global Partners, emphasized India's evolving position in the global economic landscape. "India is steadily emerging as a powerhouse for economic opportunities, particularly through its digital platforms. The pace at which the country is advancing, coupled with the entrepreneurial momentum, is positioning it as a preferred destination for both investors and innovators," she noted.
India's robust economic growth forecasts further support this upward trajectory. According to the World Citizenship Report, the Indian economy, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the incumbent BJP government, is projected to grow by 6.6% in 2025 and 6.8% in 2026, as per a United Nations analysis. This positive outlook bolsters investor confidence and reinforces India's standing as the world's fifth-largest economy, a position it is expected to maintain or improve.
The World Citizenship Report noted that beyond raw economic indicators, India's rise in the rankings also reflects the country's expanding digital economy, substantial infrastructure investments, and a continued focus on entrepreneurship and innovation. These pillars are not only attracting global businesses but are also empowering Indian citizens with greater access to financial growth and mobility.
