Azerbaijan continues its ascension in Rankings of WEF as a result of improvement in its ICT infrastructure


According to the Global Information Technology Report 2013, released by the World Economic Forum on 10 April, Azerbaijan, in 56th place, continues its ascension in the rankings as a result of an improvement in its ICT infrastructure, especially in terms of international Internet bandwidth capacity (64th), that—coupled with affordable prices (20th)—result in higher rates of ICT uptake.

“This is seen in rising numbers of broadband subscriptions (53rd), including mobile broadband (50th), which has rapidly expanded in the past year.

Despite these significant advances in boosting the national connectivity, economic and social impacts (59th) could be further enhanced if the current weaknesses in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship (86th) and increasing the quaquality of the educational system (109th) were addressed”- the Global Information Technology Report 2013 informs.
