Overview

Hungary scores 4.50 and retains its ranking of 23rd among the innovation-driven¹ economies on the Connectivity Scorecard 2011 index.

In 2010, Hungary held the same rank with a score of 4.31. With these scores, Hungary is ahead of only Poland and Greece. The country stands as a weak performer in terms of ICT across all six components of the Scorecard and has to cover a lot of ground to catch up with Western Europe. However, despite its low score, Hungary has made some significant strides in ICT adoption particularly in terms of broadband coverage and Hungary outperforms its “transition” economy peers as well as several more affluent states in this aspect.
