DHL Global Connectedness Tracker
Despite policy shocks, global connectedness remains at an all-time high
The DHL Global Connectedness Tracker provides a concise update on the state and trajectory of globalization, drawing upon the analysis of trade, capital, information, and people flows that underpins the DHL Global Connectedness Index. The current edition focuses on three key questions: (1) How are policy shocks affecting the growth of international flows? (2) Is geopolitical rivalry fracturing the world economy? (3) Are international flows becoming more regional? The data indicates that a reversal of globalization is a risk but not a current reality.
