Global Information Technology Report

The Global Information Technology Report 2004-2005 of the World Economic Forum offers interesting data on ICT developments in the world, including European New Member States. According to the report, Estonia leads the central and eastern European countries with a rank of 25 out of 104. The formerly centrally planned economies in this region tend to rank higher than some of the larger countries in Latin America, with Estonia, Slovenia, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Lithuania, scoring higher than Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, the three largest Latin American economies. The process has been made possible by impressive levels of foreign direct investment.

Overall, the report gives an excellent overview of the extent to which ICT is leading to real services over the world and is therefore an useful study tool for institutions interested in participating in the IST Programme.
