Jordan – Amman
At the conclusion of the sixty-third meeting of the Council of Arab Economic Unity, held in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Council issued a number of recommendations, including expressing thanks to the Arab Federation for Digital Economy in appreciation of its preparation of the Arab Digital Economy Index study, and commending the efforts it is making in providing specialized studies and indicators that support the progress of the digital economy in the Arab countries.
The Arab Digital Economy Index 2026, entitled “Digital Sovereignty in the Arab Region,” is one of the Federation’s most prominent research publications. It provides an analytical reading of the reality of the digital economy in Arab countries and monitors their progress in the areas of digital sovereignty, infrastructure, skills and innovation, which helps to identify gaps and challenges and supports planning efforts and the development of future policies.
The index provides a framework for measuring the performance of Arab countries and comparing their levels of digital development. It also highlights the importance of having the necessary technical capabilities, infrastructure, and national skills to support digital independence and keep pace with global technological transformations.
The Council’s recommendation to thank the Federation comes as a confirmation of the importance of the study and the indicators and data it provides, which contribute to supporting Arab economic visions and providing a specialized reference for decision-makers and those concerned with developing the digital economy in the region.
