The 2015 Global Connectivity Index (GCI) benchmarks 50 economies for connectivity, ICT use and digital transformation. The report, based on research by Huawei, provides an index of which countries are best poised for development and growth.

The research, which also acts as reference guide for policymakers looking to embrace the digital economy, shows that a 20% growth in ICT investment will increase a country’s GDP by 1%. It advises governments to invest in five enablers of digital transformation – datacentres, cloud services, big data, broadband and the internet of things, to maximise benefits from technology.

Highlights:

  • The US ranks the highest among surveyed countries, on the strength of robust supply and demand of ICT services, and an advanced state of adoption.
  • Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK feature in the top five connected countries.
  • Chile, China, and the United Arab Emirates lead the developing markets.
