With 338 individuals and organisations nominated, several names have been circulating this year. Earlier, there was speculation that the committee could decide not to award the prize given the bleak geopolitical situation.

The spotlight has been overwhelmingly on US President Donald Trump as several countries nominated him for the award.

The US leader has claimed to stop several wars, and even announced the Gaza ceasefire deal on the eve of the Peace Prize announcement. However, the prize has slipped out of his grasp; it remains to be seen how Trump will react after he touted his 'peace-making' legacy across the world.

After the Nobel prizes awarded this week for medicine , physics, chemistry, literature and peace, the economics prize on Monday wraps up the 2025 Nobel season.
