The Dominican Republic has improved its positioning in The Global Information Technology Report country ranking, prepared by the World Economic Forum. The DR moved up a record 23 steps, going from rank 89 in 2005 to 66 in 2006. In the Networked Readiness Index 2006-2007 rankings, the DR ranks only below Chile (31), Colombia (64) and Panama (65) in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Launched in 2001, The Global Information Technology Report is regarded as a valuable and unique benchmarking tool to determine national information and communication technologies (ICT) strengths and weaknesses, and to evaluate progress. It also highlights the continuing importance of ICT application and development for economic growth. The Networked Readiness Index measures the degree of preparation of a nation or community to participate in and benefit from ICT developments. The NRI is composed of three component indexes which assess: environment for ICT offered by a country or community, readiness of the community's key stakeholders (individuals, business and governments), and usage of ICT among these stakeholders.
