Trust levels rebounded in 2013 after a year of high distrust in 2012: 1) Global trust returned to neutral levels, with business gaining the most trust. However, intensity of trust remains weak overall. 2) Trust is higher among informed publics than the general population, with the largest gaps in Poland, the US, and Sweden. 3) Most institutions in Hong Kong saw a return to 2011 highs in trust, though the gap between business and government trust remained near 2007 levels. 4) Business is more trusted than government in 16 of 26 markets surveyed, with the largest gaps in Mexico, Brazil, Spain, and Italy.
