ndonesia has shown signs of further improvement in digital competitiveness as the divide between commercial hubs and other regions narrows, a study by East Ventures, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Indonesia and Katadata Insight Center has found.
The country’s score on the 2022 digital competitiveness index (DCI), published annually by the three companies, rose to 35.2, up 3.2 points from the previous report. The index measures, among other things, the readiness of infrastructure and human capital, as well as the favorability of regional regulations, on a scale of zero to 100.
Among the subindices, infrastructure posted the highest reading at 64.8, followed by regulations at 54.6, information and communication technology usage at 48.3, and employment at 41.8.
The human resources subindex was the lowest at 21.8, followed by finance at 23.1 and entrepreneurship and productivity at 23.6, despite some improvement in the third of these subindices.
