Global Terrorism Index 2025 [JFSC Source 13] published
09/03/2025
The JFSC expects the firms to consider their country's risk using its D2 country risk index.
According to SOURCES, 13 is a requirement to consider the global terrorism index and the Terrorism and Political Violence map.
The latest index shown by the JFSC is dated 2023. However, in MARCH 2025, The Institute for Economics & Peace published the newest edition of the Global Terrorism Index, which provides an in-depth analysis of global terrorism trends over the past decade.
The Sahel region emerged as the global epicentre of terrorism, the report notes. What are some of the terrorist financing threats in the area?
- The Sahel region accounted for over half of all terrorism-related deaths in 2024, with Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger being among the top five countries most impacted by terrorism in 2024.
- Terrorist groups in the Central Sahel rely on a variety of illicit economic activities to sustain their operations. Jihadist groups typically generate revenues by imposing taxes or providing security and protection in exchange for payment rather than directly engaging in organised crime.
- Drug trafficking represents one of the most financially lucrative illicit activities linked to terrorism in the Sahel. Terrorist groups in the region have also generated revenue from kidnapping and ransom in the past two decades.
- Gold is also key to the conflict dynamics in some areas of the Sahel, with the revenue raised potentially critical to funding group activities. Control of the territories where gold is mined and transported is perhaps even more critical.
