1.0

The diagram on the right shows the Economic Resilience Index rescaled from 0 to 1 (as calculated by the present author) and its relation to GDP per capita. It can be seen that economic resilience is highly related to GDP per capita. The resilience scores are not related to country size, meaning that small as well as large countries can register high or low resilience scores.
