Currency Stability Index map
The Currency Stability Index measures how well the currency a jurisdiction actually uses holds its value, blending three signals: exchange-rate volatility against a reserve basket of the US dollar, the euro, and the Swiss franc, trend depreciation over the past decade, and recent consumer-price inflation. This map colors every country by its latest score with the same absolute paliers as country profiles and ranking pages. Click a country to open the side panel and drill into the 23 dimensions.

Methodology
Currency Stability is a dimension of our composite Lucky Nomads World Index. It starts from a verifiable fact, the currency each jurisdiction actually uses, so dollarized and euroized places and credible hard pegs inherit the stability profile of their anchor, while floating currencies are scored on their own record. Volatility and depreciation are read against a reserve basket of the US dollar, the euro, and the Swiss franc over a ten-year window, and inflation uses the latest IMF consumer-price averages country by country, with inflation the heaviest input. Convertibility and capital controls are deliberately left out, they belong to the Economic Openness Index. Scores are normalised to 1 to 10 and the map uses absolute paliers consistent with the rest of the site.
