Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: Saudi Arabia was ranked first globally in the 2025 ICT Development Index, which monitors the digital progress and development of telecom and technology services across 164 countries, the Saudi Communications, Space & Technology Commission (CST) announced in a recent statement.

This achievement underscored the Kingdom’s commitment to sustainable development in the ICT sector and its ongoing initiatives to enhance infrastructure and competitiveness.

Issued by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the index is based on several sub-indicators divided into two key dimensions: universal and effective connectivity.

CST highlighted that the advanced digital infrastructure in Saudi Arabia plays a pivotal role in accelerating digital economic growth, attracting investments, and boosting GDP contributions. In 2024, the Saudi digital economy recorded SAR 495 billion, contributing 15% to the GDP.

The ICT Development Index provides a comprehensive and transparent framework that supports data-driven policy decisions, based on ten sub-indicators grouped under inclusive and effective connectivity.
