According to the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer, the United Kingdom ranks as the least trusted country globally, with citizens exhibiting significant distrust towards institutions.
Despite a slight global increase in trust from 55% to 56%, many liberal democracies struggle with trust deficits among their citizens, influenced by recent elections.
The rankings reflect not only overall trust in government and media but also the varying income levels and democratic statuses of these nations, highlighting systemic trust issues.
The findings emphasize that high levels of distrust can undermine economic growth, impacting investment, innovation, and trade on a broad scale.
