CEOWORLD magazine has published a report aimed at helping individuals improve their financial and mental health by identifying the most and least stressed countries in the world. This report highlights which countries are performing well in terms of financial and mental well-being and which ones require improvements. The magazine analyzed 197 countries and territories across four categories: work-related stress, money-related stress, social and family-related stress, and health and safety-related stress.

Monaco ranks as the least stressed country in the world for 2025, achieving a remarkable score of 83.83. Its upscale, peaceful environment significantly contributes to this stress-free status. The country is known for its picturesque landscapes, medieval castles, vibrant city life, and financial hub, all while offering a multicultural ambiance and a high quality of life. Following Monaco are Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and Ireland, which also showcase low-stress levels.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Burundi has been identified as the world’s most stressed country, followed closely by South Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Malawi.

Stress can manifest in various ways depending on the context of where one lives. In some developing countries, it may be linked to the threat of armed conflict, while in more developed economies, it often arises from the demands of a challenging workday. According to the 2025 Global Emotions Report from CEOWORLD magazine, which surveyed stress levels in 197 countries and territories, over one-third of respondents reported experiencing “a lot of stress” the day before they were surveyed. The surveys took place between December 2, 2024, and January 12, 2025. The report found that the regions where individuals were most likely to report stress over the past day and month included Burundi, South Sudan, and Afghanistan.
