According to the ruling Georgian Dream party, the World Bank, as part of the Worldwide Governance Indicators, has published the results of a European Commission study showing that Georgia ranks among the top five countries in Europe in public trust in government.
The party reported that, based on a large-scale public opinion survey conducted in nearly forty countries as part of the Euromonitor project, trust indices were calculated, and “under the 100-percent evaluation system, the Government of Georgia reached a new all-time high of 54.1%, entering the top 5 European nations.”
“Notably, according to the previous assessment in 2024, Georgia held the 8th position in Europe in the government trust ranking. The top five European leaders for 2025 are Luxembourg, Denmark, Montenegro, Austria, and Georgia.
Ranking lowest in Europe in terms of public trust in government were the Netherlands, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Greece, and Slovenia.
‘Eurobarometer’ is a research instrument used by the European Commission, the European Parliament, and other EU institutions and agencies to regularly monitor public opinion in Europe—both on EU-related issues and on broader socio-political matters. ‘Eurobarometer’ provides high-quality, up-to-date data for public opinion specialists, researchers, the media, and the general public.
The ‘Eurobarometer’ project was initiated in 1974 within the European Commission by Jacques-René Rabier, a former associate of Jean Monnet and Director-General for Information; it was initially conceived as an instrument allowing ‘Europeans to look at themselves.’ Since then, it has evolved and expanded significantly, including through the introduction of various survey methodologies. In 2007, the European Parliament launched its own regular series of ‘Eurobarometer’ surveys, focusing on issues of direct priority to the Parliament, such as the European elections. In addition to the European Commission and the European Parliament, ‘Eurobarometer’ survey data is now utilized by numerous other EU institutions and agencies.
The diversity of topics consistently covered over a prolonged period, regular publications, and wide geographical reach make ‘Eurobarometer’ a unique source of knowledge and information in the EU,” the statement read.
