What drives digital transformation globally? Insights from 99 economies

This policy brief draws on data from a study of 99 economies to analyze the evolving drivers of digital transformation—digital adoption, digital infrastructure, human capital, and institutional conditions—during two distinct phases: the early breakaway phase (2010–2015), and the catch-up phase (2016–2021). By analyzing economy-level data across these two phases and differentiating inputs, enablers, and outcomes of digital transformation from each other, the brief recommends how these drivers may be harnessed for future digital strategies.<p></p>
