Power score	55

Country momentum 0 — Quarterly momentum: the Bureau's read on the country's trajectory over the last quarter, from −10 (deteriorating fast) to +10 (accelerating).

Why it matters

Four months in office with an election imminent — the record is caretaking. Keeping government functional through the transition is the achievement.
The IMF's September 2026 Article IV sees 1.8% growth in 2026 after 2.1% in 2025 — a modest, fragile recovery.
Decent education outcomes; demographic decline and regional inequality are the structural drags. The brain drain to Ireland and the UK persists.
NATO, EU and eurozone member. The Canadian-led battlegroup anchors the alliance presence.
