Portugal was ranked again as the third most peaceful country in the world, among 163 states and territories, after Iceland and New Zealand, by the Global Peace Index.
The report by the Institute for Economics & Peace also reveals that Portugal ranks first among the countries of the European Union.
The report concluded that the significant steps the country has taken in recent years in terms of security have allowed for the reduction of crime and, consequently, the gradual and consolidated rise in the Index ranking.
Portugal is safe and open for business.
