Armenia is placed 82nd in the Networked Readiness Index (NRI), which is 12 positions higher than in the previous report.

“Armenia is ranked 82nd among 144 countries in the Networked Readiness Index (NRI),” acting Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said at the Government sitting.

“Although Armenia has advanced 12 positions, we have a serious work to do, as we are placed lower than Georgia and Azerbaijan, which cannot be satisfying,” Tigran Sargsyan said.

The acting PM attaches special importance to the issue, as Armenia has proclaimed the Information Technologies and priority direction.

The Global Information Technology Report 2013, the 12th in the series, analyses the impact and influence of ICTs on economic growth and jobs in a hyperconnected world.
