Boosting Eurasian economies through ICT

1. ICT investment drives economic growth and diversity

Eurasian GDP has slowed or stagnated…

…but ICT investment increases efficiency and grows economies

There is a significant link between broadband penetration and GDP. A 10% broadband penetration increase yields 0.9-1.5% increase in per capita GDP.* For low and middle income economies, it yields 1.38% in additional GDP growth.**

2. Eurasia needs more investment in ICT infrastructure

ICT spending is to be increased to sustain national GDP growth

ICT spending as % of GDP

Ovum broadband development index (global rank)

International bandwidth per internet user (kbps)

Number of quality certified data centers

Development of high speed broadband infrastructure constrains citizen inclusion

and digital economy development

International connectivity has become bottleneck constraining global

interconnection and participation

Certified data centers are few, constraining local service development

and deployment

3. What are the obstacles?

Unclear regulation:Lack of clear, pro-competitive regulation creates uncertainty for investors. But clear, independent and pro-competitive regulation will attract investment in broadband, applications and data centers.

The international connectivity bottleneck:Limited international connectivity slows down Internet services and increases risks of outages. But large, diverse international links will improve service quality and resilience.

Service availability and affordability:

Digital divides, high prices and low incomes are a challenge. Extending

fixed and mobile networks and cutting prices will expand demand

and economic activity.

Stimulating service innovation and data

center infrastructure:Sophisticated services improve

the monetization of network investments and keep economic

benefits in-country.

1. Developed Eurasia:

3. Emerging Eurasia:

2. Developing Eurasia:

Hot issues:OTT and 4G service innovation, data center investment

Situation:Have diverse ICT ecosystems

Priorities: Streamline and develop national infrastructure and regulatory system• Fix digital divides by expanding network coverage to

underserviced areas• Streamline telecommunications licenses and spectrum access• Strengthen wholesale access rules

Hot issues:Broadband development, affordability, international connectivity

Situation:Have basic ICT infrastructure and unmet demand

Priorities: Kick-start their ICT ecosystems through network investment• Cut tax on personal devices to improve affordability• Facilitate network site access and infrastructure sharing

to expand coverage• Cut license costs and relax foreign investor rules to

stimulate network rollout• Improve capacity and diversity of international connectivity

Hot issues:4G broadband development, OTT and fixed/mobile convergence

Situation:Have elements of the ICT ecosystem, need to invest in key areas

Priorities: Expand supply and demand for ICT services• Expand access with low-cost 4G licenses and fair

access to spectrum• Accelerate network rollouts by encouraging

infrastructure sharing• Develop e-government services to drive demand
