The world has faced a series of shocks over the past decade, with the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine coming on the heels of the US-China trade war and the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. These disruptions, along with gradually rising geopolitical tensions, have strained the ties that connect countries around the world. We’re hearing a lot of talk about greater national self-reliance, a shift from globalization to regionalization, geopolitical fracturing, and even the “end of globalization.”
But the numbers tell quite a different story. Drawing on more than four million data points, the latest edition of the DHL Global Connectedness Index (GCI) demonstrates that international flows are remarkably resilient. For example, trade, capital, and information flows are now well above pre-pandemic levels.
Nonetheless, today’s threats to globalization are real and demand serious attention. We can’t assume that globalization won’t shift into reverse. Now more than ever, our leaders must make decisions based on reliable facts and sound analysis.
We invite you to browse the key takeaways and topline results from the 2022 DHL Global Connectedness Index below and to download the report for a more in-depth analysis.
