results of the current development trends in the world, some of Arab countries based on GII as an indicator.
Methods: The study relied on descriptive analytical method. The GII is computed by taking a simple average of the scores in two subindices, the
innovation input index and innovation output index, which are composed of five and two pillars, respectively. Each of these pillars describes an
attribute of innovation and comprises up to five indicators, and their score is calculated by the weighted average method.
Results: The GII was increased from 0.5 in 2008 up to 36.3 in 2016. The GII of Arabic countries is lower than that of worldwide GII. The worldwide
GII was increased during the years 2013–2016 while decreased for Arabic countries for the same period of time.
Conclusion: Innovation is a major pillar of the country’s economic development and its consider one of the major issue of government policies. The
GII was decreased in some Arab countries that suffer from war in the past years that affect the economy and industry.
