BSA’s Joseph Whitlock joins an APEC panel discussion describing the challenges that face policymakers and regulators in growing and enabling digital trade and more.
Building a conducive regulatory environment for digital trade means having foundational policies/regulations in place to effectively regulate digital activities in a coherent, cross-sectoral, and cross-jurisdictional manner.
This session will give an overview of the challenges that face policymakers and regulators in growing and enabling digital trade, from restrictions to the free flow of data; lack of foundational frameworks, such as data protection and privacy; as well as application of taxation and tariff frameworks in the age of digital platforms and data.
