UAE ranked world’s fifth most connected country
The UAE has been ranked as the first in the Middle East and North Africa and fifth worldwide in the Global Connectedness Index (GCI) 2018 released by DHL.
The UAE rose five places on the index to rank fifth in the world after The Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and Belgium. The country’s rank stood at 18th in 2004. It entered the top 10 in 2012 (ranking ninth) and continued rising all the way to its present position. The UAE has proactively supported connectedness by, for example, fostering vibrant activity in free trade zones such as the Abu Dhabi Airports Free Zone (ADAFZ) that focus on non-oil products as part of the government’s economic diversification strategy. Israel, Bahrain, Mauritius, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Seychelles and Lebanon all made it into the Index’s Top 50, while Sub-Saharan African countries like Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Guinea on the West African coastline showed remarkable improvements in connectivity. |
