Since its launch in 2017, the KPMG Financial Performance Index (FPI) has been tracking markets amidst increasing global economic volatility, influenced by the pandemic, inflation, protectionism, interest rate hikes, and advancements in artificial intelligence. Through 2025, the KPMG FPI has reflected intense market shifts driven by escalating trade tensions, major tariffs, and geopolitical strains. The IMF’s cautious optimism on global growth, tempered by warnings on protectionist policies, underscores the fragility of this environment. As a vital tool for evaluating corporate health, the FPI guides investors and leaders through these turbulent times, demanding resilience and strategic foresight.

About KPMG Financial Performance Index (FPI)

KPMG Financial Performance Index (FPI) is designed to be one of the clearest indices of corporate financial performance. It draws from the Logit Probability to Financial Default model (developed by John Campbell, Jens Hilscher and Jan Szilagyi), which is based on eight explanatory variables encompassing financial and market variables. The score extracts raw data from S&P Capital IQ database and ranges from 0 - 100. The lower the score, the lower the financial wellness.

For investors, financiers, regulators and governments, the KPMG FPI seeks to provide insights into the relative strength and health of key markets and sectors. With millions of datapoints going back to 2017, these long-term trends can help you spot signs of improvement or impending distress.
