DHL launches landmark Global Connectedness Index 2011

Cover of the study

DHL has released the first DHL Global Connectedness Index (GCI), a detailed country-by-country analysis of the flows that connect the world. The study indicates that globalization is still not as advanced as most people believe and that continued economic integration could spur global gross domestic product gains of five percent or more. GCI ranks 125 countries according to the depth and breadth of their integration into the world economy and also examines the relationship between global connectedness and welfare. The study documents that global connectedness has enormous room to expand, even among the most "connected" countries.

The Global Connectedness Index reveals that the actual extent of global connectedness is not only far more limited than popular rhetoric presumes, but also varies widely among countries.
