The World Bank traditionally prepares intellectual development rating of world countries ("KAM Knowledge Index") and the rating of the use of scientific achievements in the real economy of separate states ("Knowledge Economy Index").
While drawing up ratings such factors, as a level of erudition of the population of this or that country of the world, the number of Internet users and telephone communications, legislative base, the number of scientists, the quantity and circulation of scientific magazines and so forth are taken into account. Assessments are made on a ten-point scale, where 10 - maximally possible estimation, and 0 - minimum.
The first 10 countries that have obtained the highest assessments in a rating of "KAM Knowledge Index" in 2005, showing general scientific and technical potential of state, were as follows: Sweden (9.25 points), Finland (9.11), Denmark (9.08), Switzerland (8.84), Great Britain (8.8), Iceland (8.76), the Netherlands (8.71), Australia (8.7), Norway (8.65) and the USA (8.58).
From the post-Soviet states of the CIS, Russia was on 41st place (5.97), the Ukraine - on 49th (5.37), Armenia - on 52nd (5.18), Belarus - on 60th (4.93), Georgia - on 66th (4.47), Moldova - on 67th (4.36), Kazakhstan - on 74th (4.01), Kyrgyzstan - on 79th (3.67), Uzbekistan - on 84th (3.31) and Tajikistan - on 101st (2.24).
Totally, the data of 128 states were taken into account in the rating - the state of Sierra Leone with the result of 0.47 points occupied the last place .
The rating of "Knowledge Economy Index" which shows how those or other countries have succeeded in the use of inventions of scientists and engineers in practice, looks a little differently: Sweden (9.54), Denmark (9.23), Finland (9.22), Australia (8.99), Great Britain (8.94), Switzerland and Iceland (8.92 each), the USA (8.80), the Netherlands (8.77) and Norway (8.73).
Among the CIS countries Russia – 7.07 has shown the best results in this rating. Belarus (6.22) has outdistanced the Ukraine (6.04), and Georgia (5.27) was much better than Armenia (5.16.). Kazakhstan has collected 4.74 points, Moldova – 4.60, Uzbekistan – 3.88, Kyrgyzstan – 3.68, Tajikistan – 2.34.
Average indices of the world on these two categories are equal – 5.62 and 5.91.
