UN’s E- Government Development Index 2024 – Pakistan Ranks 136th

-

In the 2024 United Nations E-Government Development Index (EGDI), Pakistan climbed 14 positions to rank 136th, up from 150th in 2022.

The country’s EGDI score increased to 0.5095, compared to 0.42380 in 2022 and 0.41830 in 2018.

This progress represents a significant step toward enhancing Pakistan’s digital governance and improving its e-government infrastructure and public sector services, which are crucial for increasing efficiency and accessibility.

While Pakistan still trails behind global leaders such as Denmark (0.9847) and regional frontrunners like Singapore (0.969) and the Maldives (0.6745), this improvement is a noteworthy achievement.

In South Asia, Pakistan ranks second-lowest, with India at 0.6678, Afghanistan at 0.2083, Bangladesh at 0.6570, Bhutan at 0.6511, the Maldives at 0.6745, Nepal at 0.5781, and Sri Lanka at 0.6667.

Other countries, including the U.S. (19th), U.K. (7th), China (35th), and Australia (8th), hold higher positions in the index.
