In Kosovo, 46% expect that the next year will be a year of economic prosperity, 31% expect that it will be a year of economic difficulties.

In Albania, citizens are much more optimistic about the economy, where 54% expect prosperity, only 12% expect difficulties.

The latest Gallup International report reveals an alarming picture of global fear of military conflicts and economic difficulties, while in this complicated context of global developments, Kosovo and Albania shine as among the most optimistic countries in the world, showing a positive spirit and hope for a brighter future under the difficult conditions of today.

Gallup International, in the wake of the longest study in the world, which began in 1979, has continued this year with the measurement of the index of Hope, Happiness and expectations for the economic situation.

Through Kantar (Index Kosovo), Kosovo has been part of the Gallup International study since 2000. The study is conducted every year-end.

These are some of the findings of the global study by the Gallup International Association.

Around 26% of citizens around the globe expect a more peaceful year in 2024, but 39% expect the opposite – a more turbulent year.

A few years ago, the Global Peace Optimism Index revealed equal percentages of optimists and pessimists. Now, it seems the war in Ukraine has awakened fear around the globe.

While in Kosovo 33% expect a more peaceful year and 42% a more turbulent year, in Albania citizens seem less worried - 45% expect a more peaceful year and only 20% a more turbulent year.

In Ukraine, 26% expect a more peaceful year and 33% a more turbulent year, while in Russia only 12% expect a more peaceful year and 35% a more turbulent year.

The West as a whole seems worried. On the other side of the globe there are southern and eastern countries with examples such as Afghanistan and Indonesia, where up to 68% have positive expectations for peace.

Unfortunately, there is no significant decrease in the fear of nuclear war compared to last year.

About 40% of the world's citizens see a high risk of nuclear war, about 37% see a medium risk, and only 14% see no risk at all from such a war.

In Kosovo, 53% see high risk and 19% medium risk, while in Albania 42% see high risk and 40% medium risk from nuclear war.

The majority of citizens in the US see the risk as medium, while in Russia 20% see high risk and 40% medium risk.

About 39% of respondents worldwide expect 2024 to be better than 2023 and 26% expect next year to be worse.

Close to 30% expect next year to be the same as 2023. The results look slightly more optimistic than last year.

Countries such as Germany, the US and Russia show improvement in expectations for next year compared to the end of 2022, but still remain concerned.

Countries like Iran, for example, are not pessimistic, while India is positive and southern countries are traditionally optimistic.

On the contrary, Europe remains not so positive, with the exception of Kosovo and Albania.

Saudi Arabia is the most optimistic country in the world, followed by Indonesia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, India and Albania.

Expectations for the economy look slightly better than last year, but not by much.

About 39% expect a year with economic difficulties - about 9% less than last year. Expectations for economic prosperity or at least a year without changes show slight growth, however negative expectations prevail. The European Union remains among the most pessimistic countries.

In Kosovo, 46% expect that the next year will be a year of economic prosperity, 31% expect that it will be a year of economic difficulties and 18% expect the same year as 2023.

In Albania, citizens are much more optimistic about the economy, where 54% expect prosperity, only 12% expect difficulties and 34% expect the same economic year as 2023.
