Index report shows globalization is holding up under pressure
The report shows that shrinking international capital flows caused global connectedness to dip slightly in 2018.
DHL Express, Plantation, Fla., and NYU Stern School of Business, New York, released the 2019 update of the DHL Global Connectedness Index (GCI), which highlights key developments in international flows of capital, trade, information and people.
The report shows that shrinking international capital flows caused global connectedness to dip slightly in 2018. However, despite strong headwinds in global geopolitics and trade, the GCI stayed close to its record high of 2017. This means that the world remains more connected than at almost any other point in history, with no signs of a broad reversal of globalization so far.
