Indonesia has been named the world\u2019s most generous country for the sixth year in a row in the latest World Giving Index.<\/p>\n

The southeast Asian country topped the ranking in the latest CAF generosity table with over 80 percent of its residents saying they donated money last year.<\/p>\n

More than 60 percent of Indonesians said they volunteered their time over the last year, earning the country its place at the top of the table.<\/p>\n

Ukraine took second place on the list while Kenya, Liberia and the USA rounded off the top five.<\/p>\n

Indonesia\u2019s generosity is thought to stem from its culture of \u2018gotong royong\u2019 or \u2018mutual assistance\u2019. Gotong royong is founded in the belief that an individual has obligations towards wider society.<\/p>\n
