The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) scored Singapore 84 on its 2021 Inclusive Internet Index. This placed the Lion City 12th out of 120 countries worldwide, and the highest in Southeast Asia.

Malaysia ranked second with a score of 76. Thailand and Vietnam followed, scoring 73.4 and 71.4 respectively.

The Philippines and Myanmar scored 67.4 and 62 respectively. Cambodia and Laos had the lowest scores in Southeast Asia, with 59.1 and 57.1 respectively.

The index uses four indicators to measure the inclusiveness of internet access in each country. The first is availability, encompassing the breadth and quality of existing internet infrastructure. Affordability includes the cost of internet access and competition among service providers.

Relevance encompasses the availability of information relevant to needs and using local languages. Readiness includes the capacity to access the internet, such as skills, cultural acceptance, and policy support.
