Of the economies in the World Bank's latest release, Bhutan has the highest CPIA equity of public resource use rating (1=low to 6=high) (4.5 in 2025) and Sudan the lowest (1.5 in 2025). The world figure is 3.38 (2025).
What this measures
Equity of public resource use assesses the extent to which the pattern of public expenditures and revenue collection affects the poor and is consistent with national poverty reduction priorities.
Limitations: The CPIA exercise is intended to capture the quality of a country's policies and institutional arrangements, focusing on key elements that are within the country's control, rather than on outcomes (such as economic growth rates) that are influenced by events beyond the country's control. More specifically, the CPIA measures the extent to which a country's policy and institutional framework supports sustainable growth and poverty reduction and, consequently, the effective use of development assistance.
Each country's latest available year is shown; countries report on different schedules, so compare years before comparing values.
