This page displays score trends for 42 countries, comparing country and indicator scores between the first and second editions of the GDB study. As Barbados was not included in the first edition, no comparative data is available. Additionally, the indicator related to regulatory frameworks in public procurement is new in this second edition, so no prior data exists for any country.

Due to changes in indicator composition, weighting, and question content between editions, score differences should not be interpreted as direct changes in real-world data governance frameworks or implementation. The color coding below highlights general score trends, focusing on the direction of change rather than exact numerical differences.
