KOF Globalisation Index: globalisation is approaching its pre-pandemic level
Global interdependencies are gradually recovering, as the KOF Globalisation Index for 2022 shows. Globalisation is returning to its pre-COVID-19 pandemic level.

The most globalised country is the Netherlands, followed by Switzerland and Belgium.
