This is the eleventh edition of the Global Terrorism Index (GTI), which provides a comprehensive summary
of the key global trends and patterns in terrorism since 2012. The GTI report is produced by the Institute for
Economics & Peace (IEP), using data from Dragonfly’s TerrorismTracker database and other sources. In 2023, deaths from terrorism increased by 22 per cent to
8,352 deaths and are now at their highest level since 2017,
although they remain 23 per cent lower than at their peak in 2015.
Excluding the October 7th Hamas attack, deaths would have still
been up by five per cent.
Whilst the number of deaths increased, the number of incidents
fell, with total attacks dropping by 22 per cent to 3,350 in 2023.
Pakistan recorded the most incidents of any country, with 490
attacks recorded. The rise in deaths but fall in number of incidents
shows how terrorism is becoming more concentrated and more
lethal. The number of countries recording a death from terrorism
fell to 41, considerably lower than the peak of 57 countries
recorded in 2015 and the 44 recorded in 2022.
