In Summary


    The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals that recent global events have significantly eroded public trust in institutions.

    Economic anxieties, including fears about job security and the rising cost of living, have intensified feelings of grievance among 60% of people globally.

    This discontent has led to increased support for hostile actions, such as violence and cyberattacks, to instigate change.

    Political polarisation and deepening fears have further exacerbated this sense of grievance, resulting in a widespread decline in trust across governments, businesses, media, and NGOs.

    Addressing these challenges requires institutions to collaborate on solutions that promote economic optimism and societal cohesion.
