♦ According to the Centre for Global Development’s Commitment to Development Index (CDI) 2025, India ranks 36th overall among the countries evaluated.

♦ The index, published by the Centre for Global Development, a non-profit think tank based in Washington, DC and London, evaluates a country’s overall commitment to development through eight policy components: development finance, exchange policies on investment, migration and trade, and global public goods in the areas of environment, health, security and technology.

♦ Topping the rankings this year (2025), Sweden retains its two-time position on CDI 2025.

♦ Consequently, its lead over the next-best-performing countries—Germany in second place and Norway in third place—has shortened.

♦ Finland and the United Kingdom placed at 4th and 5th respectively.
