KOF Index of Globalization

The KOF Index of Globalization measures how interconnected and integrated countries are in terms of economic, social, and political factors. Developed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, it evaluates aspects such as trade, investment, communication, and cultural exchange. The index ranks countries on a scale, providing insights into the level of globalization they experience. Higher scores indicate more extensive global engagement, which can help understand trends in international relations, development, and social dynamics. Essentially, it offers a way to gauge how connected a country is to the rest of the world.
