Measuring Digitagility: The Enabling Digitalization Index (EDI)

Which Countries are Digital Friendly?

The Euler Hermes Enabling Digitalization Index (EDI) measures the ability – and agility – of countries to help digital companies thrive and traditional businesses harness the digital dividend. In our 2018 ranking, the US, Germany and the Netherlands are the top 3 digitagile countries across the world.

Compared with last year’s ranking, Thailand is up 5 ranks to 45th, and India and Indonesia are up 4 ranks to 44th and 60th respectively. The Netherlands (3rd) replaced Switzerland (4th) on the podium this year.

Digital-friendly regulation, the buildup of a knowledge economy, the transformation through connectivity, smart logistics, and digital inclusion plans could help laggards improve their EDI.
