Book excerpt: The International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI) mirrors and extends the EU Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) by utilising 24 datasets to enable trend analysis and comparison of the digital performance of 45 countries. Analysis includes EU27 Member States and 18 non-EU countries that have a global distribution. Six of the 18 non-EU countries are from Europe, five are from Asia, five from the Americas and two from Australasia. Analysis showed that EU27 Member States compare well with 18 non-EU countries and the very best EU27 countries have digital performances at the same or higher levels than the best global countries. Indeed, Finland was the leading country in the I-DESI index. Five of the top ten I-DESI countries are EU27 Member States. EU27 Member States perform best, relative to the 18 non-EU countries, in the Connectivity dimension (examining the deployment and take-up of fixed and mobile broadband) and in the Digital Skills dimension. Non-EU countries perform best at the Citizen Use of Internet Services dimension and the Digital Public Services dimension.
