UAE is the Middle East’s most globalized country: DHL Global Connectedness Index

• UAE ranks fourth out of 169 countries in DHL Global Connectedness Index
• DHL Global Connectedness Index on track to rise in 2021

Dubai, UAE; December 22, 2021: In a special report on the 10^th anniversary of the DHL Global Connectedness Index, DHL and the NYU Stern School of Business highlight strong links between global connectedness and prosperity. The United Arab Emirates is among the five countries that the report examines (other being Mexico, The Netherlands, Sierra Leone and Viet Nam,) which have stood out for their strong or rising connectedness over the past two decades. The various paths these countries took to greater connectedness show that there is no one-size-fits-all prescription – instead, each country can pursue the international opportunities that make the most sense in its own local context.
