This whitepaper presents an estimation of the relative demand capacity for B2B information technology and related services worldwide. This estimation is called “The BECH Index.”
TBK Consult calculates the BECH Index annually based on data published by The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The 2020 report is based on the CIA estimates for 2019 and does not reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The virus will no doubt claim a substantial portion of the economic growth in most countries, but it may not impact the overall distribution of industrial demand. We will not know for sure until we see the numbers.
