Edelman’s 2016 Trust Barometer has revealed that people in most countries around the world trust the business sector more than their governments. Mexico has the most pronounced disparity out of the 28 countries surveyed with 76 percent of people trusting business compared to a mere 32 percent trusting the government. Such a deep-founded lack of trust in the authorities should come as little surprise considering the country’s high rate of drug-related violence, corruption scandals and high poverty levels.
The trust gap is similar in Brazil but narrows considerably in India where business edges the government by a few percentage points. In the United States and Great Britain, people also have more trust in the business sector than the government. In a small group of countries, however, the government comes first for trust. People in China, Russia and South Korea all had more faith in the government than in business according to Edelman.
