The definitive benchmarking of global cities, produced by Resonance with research by Ipsos, surveyed more than 22,000 people in 30 countries to find the best of the best.
For the first time in Anholt-Ipsos Nation Brands Index history, Japan finishes in first place, completing its steady climb from fifth place in 2019. Germany drops down to second after a six-year reign, while Canada remains in third place overall. The United Kingdom and the United States climb the ranks and place fourth and sixth, respectively. Italy drops one rank and places fifth, while France sees the largest rank change within the top ten and falls from fifth to eighth place.
The 2023 Anholt-Ipsos Nation Brands Index (NBI) will be released later this year, and the pending results show exciting shifts in perceptions since 2022.
