According to the report, the UAE topped the world’s UN Telecommunication Infrastructure Index (TII) with a maximum score of 100 per cent. This is reported by Emirates News Agency (WAM), a partner of TV BRICS. The same report noted that the UAE climbed 34 points on the Human Capital Index (HCI), moving from 44th to 10th place and leading Asia and the Arab world.

This demonstrates the UAE’s significant efforts to enhance the skills of its citizens and ensure they are prepared to successfully navigate the digital world.
