DHL Global Connectedness Index 2016

The fourth edition of the DHL Global Connectedness Index is a detailed analysis of the state of globalization around the world. The 2016 report shows that global connectedness, measured by cross-border flows of trade, capital, information and people, surpassed its 2007 pre-crisis peak during 2014. In 2015, globalization's post-crisis expansion slowed, but the data indicate that it did not go into reverse. Currently available evidence - still preliminary in some areas - suggests that the world was about 8% more connected in 2015 than in 2005.
