Saudi Arabia Tops Global Rankings in Government Trust and Future Outlook
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia has been ranked first globally for government trust, with an impressive 87 percent trust rate, according to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer. This achievement highlights the Kingdom’s ongoing leadership in global trust metrics.
The high trust rate reflects the success of Vision 2030, which has strengthened institutional stability and governance, positioning Saudi Arabia as a global benchmark for public trust.
Moreover, Saudi Arabia also ranked first globally in future outlook, with 69 percent of citizens believing the next generation will be better off. This optimistic view stands in stark contrast to the under 50 percent optimism in most other nations, demonstrating the positive societal impact of Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s commitment to sustainable development.
In addition to its top global ranking, Saudi Arabia outperformed several major countries in trust, including the United States (47 percent), the United Kingdom (43 percent), and Germany (41 percent).
