The spread
172 countries, one dot each, on one scale — further right is a higher value. Half the countries are above 63.784%; a quarter are above 79.732%, and a quarter below 43.706%. The bar in each row marks that continent’s middle country.
04All 181 ever measured
Every country
In order, highest value first. “=” marks a position shared with another country. World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure; the position is derived here by ordering the published values. A website is a basic marker, not a measure of digital sophistication: in some large economies firms sell through online platforms and messaging apps instead of a site of their own, and read lower here than their digital economy would suggest. Readings come from different survey years; check the year beside each one.

06The measure
About firms with a website
This is the share of private firms that have a website of their own, from the World Bank's Enterprise Surveys. It is one of the few measures of whether businesses, not governments or households, have gone online.
What the number is: Firms with their own website (%).
What it does not measure
It records whether a firm has a website, not what it does online: selling through platforms, marketplaces or messaging apps is not counted. Farms and informal businesses are outside the survey.

How this page reads the numbers
- World Bank Group ranks nobody on this measure. The position is derived by Nations Inquiry by ordering the published values; equal values share a position.
- Which end is better follows the publisher’s own reading of the measure.
- A country is named at an end only when it holds that value alone. Where several share it, the page says how many and names none first.
- The file gives each country’s most recent reading, so the rows are from different years. Readings from before 2016 are listed but left out of every comparison on this page.
- Values are stored exactly as published and trimmed only for display. “The middle country” is the median of the countries measured, not a world average.
The file itself, column by column — where it came from, what each column holds, and every edition as a CSV — is on its dataset page.
