Mastercard Partners Fletcher School; Launches Digital Intelligence Index

Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:51 AM PST


The Fletcher School at Tufts University, in partnership with Mastercard, today unveiled the Digital Intelligence Index, which charts the progress countries have made in advancing their digital economies, fostering trust and integrating connectivity into the lives of billions.


Building upon earlier editions in 2014 and 2017, this year's index paints a picture of global digital development, sheds insight on key factors driving change and momentum, and unpacks what this means for economies facing the challenges of a global pandemic and post-pandemic future. 


The 2020 study highlights that while economies like Nigeria remain in the Watch Out zone, young people are demonstrating high levels of digital engagement, a bright spot for governments attempting to expand digitalization in their economies who need to do more to nurture their digital economies and instill trust in their emerging digital ecosystems. The country is forecast to grow its 25 million smartphone user base to more than 140 million by 2025, exhibiting high levels of digital engagement in the future.

The Sub-Saharan African region, on the other hand, has led a mobile money revolution, making two-thirds of the world's 37 billion mobile money transactions in 2019 demonstrating the potential for massive growth in digital economies.


Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School, said: "The pandemic may be the purest test of the world's progress towards digitalization. We have a clearer view on how dynamic digital economies can contribute to economic resiliency during a time of unparalleled global turmoil and can be positioned for recovery and change."


With nearly two thirds of the world's population online today,[1] we are entering an 'after access' phase, where access alone is not enough. Aspects such as the quality of access, effective use of digital technologies, accountable institutions, robust data governance policies and fostering trust are greater factors in determining digital competitiveness and sustainability.

Young people in emerging economies are demonstrating high levels of digital engagement, a bright spot for governments attempting to expand digitalization in their economies.


Ajay Bhalla, president, Cyber & Intelligence, Mastercard, said: "Never before has there been such an acute need to understand the factors that drive digitalization and digital trust. With that knowledge, businesses and governments can work together to help all 7.6 billion people around the world benefit from the vast opportunities a digitally advanced economy can bring.  Whilst much remains uncertain today, it is clear that digital success will be a key building block in our collective recovery."



A Global Outlook on Digital Evolution and Trust


This year's index looks at two components: Digital Evolution and Digital Trust. Digital Evolution captures an economy's historical momentum from the physical past to the digital present. Digital Trust is the bridge that connects its journey from the digital present to an intelligent and inclusive digital future.


Mapping 95% of the world's online population and drawing on 12 years of data, the Digital Evolution scorecard measures 160 indicators in 90 economies across four key pillars: institutional environment, demand conditions, supply conditions, and the capacity for innovation and change.
