Indonesia's Government Effectiveness Ranked 4th in ASEAN in 2022

Indonesia's government performance in providing public services is considered quite good on a Southeast Asian scale.

This is evident from the Worldwide Governance Indicator data, specifically the government effectiveness index, released by the World Bank.

In 2022, Indonesia's government effectiveness index percentile ranking reached 66.04%.

This means that in that year, the effectiveness of Indonesia's government performance was better than 66.04% of countries globally. This score also places Indonesia 4th in Southeast Asia.

Far above Indonesia is Singapore, which achieved a percentile ranking of 100%. In other words, its government effectiveness is better than all countries in the world.

The government effectiveness of Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia is also higher than Indonesia's, with scores as shown in the graph.

The World Bank assesses government effectiveness based on the perceptions of the public, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and international institutions regarding the quality of public services in a country.

Assessment indicators include the quality of bureaucracy, road infrastructure, education and health services, access to clean water, sanitation, electricity networks, public transportation, and waste management.

In creating this index, the World Bank uses data from public opinion surveys and expert assessment reports from various institutions, including the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Gallup World Poll (GWP), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and others.

All this data is then formulated into a percentile ranking on a scale of 0-100. The higher the score, the better the government performance of a country is assumed to be.
