Switzerland ranks fourth in Globalization Index 2007

Switzerland belongs to the most globalized countries worldwide. The Globalization Index 2007, published by A. T. Kearney and the magazine «Foreign Policy», places Switzerland fourth behind Singapore, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. Ireland, Denmark, the United States and Canada rank behind Switzerland respectively.

The Index measures not only economic integration (including trade and foreign direct investment) but also technological connectivity as well as political engagement (including international organizations, peacekeeping etc.). Switzerland has improved its absolute score from the year 2006 to the year 2007, owing its top position mostly to trade, foreign direct investment and technological connectivity.
