台灣名次曝光!全球最痛苦經濟體排名出爐 「這國」真的好慘

委內瑞拉以556.5分高居最痛苦榜首,台灣以2.1分排名第178名

Quick Look

根據2025年漢克年度痛苦指數,全球178個經濟體中,委內瑞拉以556.5分高居最痛苦榜首,台灣以2.1分排名第178名,連續第二年成為全球最不痛苦經濟體。新加坡、泰國、愛爾蘭及象牙海岸分列其後。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

漢克年度痛苦指數源自美國經濟學家奧肯提出的概念,漢克納入銀行貸款利率及人均實質GDP成長率,計算方式為通膨率加上兩倍失業率,再加上銀行貸款利率,最後減去人均實質GDP成長率。指數愈高代表經濟承受的壓力愈大。

全球最悲慘、最不悲慘的經濟體排名出爐,台灣名次也曝光了!根據最新公布的2025年「漢克年度痛苦指數」(Hanke Annual Misery Index),全球178個經濟體中,委內瑞拉以556.5分高居最痛苦榜首,台灣則以2.1分排名第178名,成為全球「最不痛苦」的經濟體,並且連續第2年獲得這項排名。

財經視覺化網站《Visual Capitalist》引述美國約翰霍普金斯大學經濟學教授史蒂夫.漢克(Steve Hanke)編製的年度痛苦指數指出,衡量一個經濟體是否陷入困境,不能只看經濟成長率,還必須考慮通貨膨脹、失業率及借貸成本等因素。

這項指數源自美國經濟學家奧肯(Arthur Okun)提出的概念,漢克則進一步納入銀行貸款利率及人均實質GDP成長率,計算方式為通膨率加上兩倍失業率,再加上銀行貸款利率,最後減去人均實質GDP成長率。指數愈高,代表經濟承受的壓力愈大。

排名顯示,全球最痛苦的前五大經濟體依序為委內瑞拉、蘇丹、土耳其、伊朗及阿根廷。其中,委內瑞拉指數高達556.5分,遠高於第二名蘇丹的225.4分,主要壓力來自通貨膨脹;土耳其則以101分排名第三,銀行貸款利率是最大拖累因素。

相較之下,全球最不痛苦的經濟體依序為台灣、新加坡、泰國、愛爾蘭及象牙海岸,指數分別約為2.1、2.6、3.1、5.3及6.3分。其他亞洲經濟體方面,日本以7.2分排名第172名,中國以8.7分排名第164名,南韓則以11分排名第155名。

漢克分析,台灣連續2年成為全球最不痛苦的經濟體,關鍵在於2025年人均實質GDP成長率達9.2%,主要受惠於全球對半導體及人工智慧硬體的強勁需求。此外,台灣失業率為3.3%、通膨率1.3%,銀行貸款利率約3.3%,使整體痛苦指數維持低檔。

值得注意的是,178個經濟體中,有105個經濟體的最大經濟壓力來自銀行貸款利率,54個來自失業率,另有19個來自通膨。即使痛苦指數偏低,也不代表完全沒有經濟壓力。這項指數主要衡量總體經濟狀況,並非直接反映民眾的幸福感、生活滿意度或整體生活水準。
