DHL Express has released the fourth edition of its Global Connectedness Index, GCI, a detailed analysis of the current state of globalisation around the world. GCI 2016 provides a unique look at the development of global trade and has revealed that the UAE is the 10th most connected country in the world.
The report, which measures ‘global connectedness’ through analysing cross-border flows of trade, capital, information and people, was run by globalisation expert Pankaj Ghemawat. The facts and figures shared in DHL’s Global Connectedness Index are used to inform business owners and government of the benefits of globalisation to both developing and developed economies.
The DHL GCI 2016 has shown the UAE as the 10th most connected country in the world, a ranking that puts it in a highly esteemed position with Singapore, Netherlands and the United Kingdom sitting only a few spots ahead.
