    Huawei’s Global Connectivity Index (GCI) measures the progress of 50 nations in investing in and deploying Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to achieve economic digitisation. The greatest improvements across the globe have been seen in broadband coverage and speed, but nations are also making headway with cloud, big data and internet of things (IoT) technologies.

    Average national connectivity levels are 5% higher than they were in 2015. Twelve countries improved their positions, while four experienced a drop. The top three developed economies are the US, Singapore and Sweden. The leading developing economies are the United Arab Emirates in 19th place, Qatar in 21st and China in 23rd.

    According to the report, nations with high GCI scores are also more competitive and innovative, with a close correlation found between GCI scores and ratings in the WEF Global Competitiveness Index and the Global Innovation Index, jointly published by Cornell University, INSEAD and the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organisation.
