India emerged as the most trusting country in its government, according to a recent survey conducted by market research firm Ipsos Global Trust Monitor.
As part of its survey, the research firm spoke to people in 21 countries, including Canada, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States. The target audience was of ages between 16-74 years in most countries and ages 18-74 in Canada, South Africa, Turkey, and the United States.
According to the survey, conducted over 15 days in August-September last year, urban Indians displayed more trust than distrust across all the 11 institutions and organisations. Trust in the Indian government emerged as the highest, at 52%, among all markets. Meanwhile, technology companies (57%), energy (57%), and banking organizations (57%) were the most trusted organizations among urban Indians.
For global citizens, trust deficit was observed for certain sectors, particularly, government, social media companies, oil and gas, while views were polarized for financial services, banking, energy, among others.
