🇬🇩Grenada Political Stability: 51.4/100

Grenada is the southernmost island in the Antilles archipelago, located about 140 km north of Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. The island features a mountainous interior with volcanic origins, including its highest point, Mount St. Catherine, at 840 m. Grenada has a tropical climate, with temperatures ranging from 22–32 °C and a rainy season that brings moderate rainfall.

The population of Grenada is primarily descended from enslaved Africans, making up 82% of the population, with a small percentage of Indian descent (2.2%) and mixed descent (13%). English is the official language, while Grenadian Creole English and Grenadian Creole French are commonly spoken. The country experiences significant out-migration, particularly among young people seeking better opportunities abroad.

World Bank governance: rule of law 55th percentile, corruption control 59th percentile, political stability 64th percentile.

Grenada's strongest governance dimension is Political Stability at 64/100, placing it in the upper half globally. This reflects a relatively low likelihood of politically motivated violence or instability.

The weakest dimension is Government Effectiveness at 26/100. Limited government effectiveness can mean inconsistent public services and gaps in policy implementation.

A notable 38-point gap between Political Stability and Government Effectiveness reveals uneven governance. Some institutions function well while others lag significantly. Travelers should be aware that the quality of government services and protections may vary depending on the context.

Grenada's moderate governance scores suggest travelers should prepare for some institutional inconsistency. Public services may be unreliable in certain areas, and regulatory enforcement can be uneven. Travel insurance and advance planning are recommended.

The U.S. State Department currently rates Grenada as Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution). This aligns with a governance profile that, while not without challenges, provides a baseline of institutional functioning.
