This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kiribati Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment focuses on examining seven key policy areas that are most relevant for e-commerce. Within each area, critical readiness gaps are identified and relevant recommendations are proposed to overcome barriers and bottlenecks to the growth of digital trade. Kiribati has yet to take advantage of the potential of e-commerce. The country could benefit substantially from e-commerce if it is able to accelerate the adoption of key measures aimed at supporting the development of an e-commerce ecosystem (e.g., e-commerce strategy, regulatory framework) and private sector investment (in infrastructure and access to finance). Among other benefits, e-commerce could fuel the development of the tourism and financial sectors, attract FDI, and increase employment in Kiribati. Despite the potential benefits provided by e-commerce, MSMEs may face barriers such as poor domestic and international logistics and limited access to financing.

This book was released on 2020-05-06 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eTrade Readiness Assessment of Tuvalu focuses on examining seven key policy areas that are most relevant for e-commerce. Within each area, critical readiness gaps are identified and relevant recommendations are proposed to overcome barriers and bottlenecks to the growth of digital trade. The Tuvalu Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment is the nineteenth such assessment conducted by UNCTAD since the launch of the Programme in 2017. There are signs that Tuvalu has started to consider some of the potential benefits that e-commerce can bring to its population and in particular in reducing some of the negative effects of its geographic location and small size. For this to happen, existing policies such as TKIII and TPF must be implemented, while higher visibility of the digital economy in the national development agenda constitutes a necessary pre-condition to tackle all the aforementioned challenges. This Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment helps identify opportunities and barriers for Tuvalu to engage in and benefit from e-commerce and the digital economy. It also helps operationalize relevant strategies included in the Tuvalus Trade Policy Statement and the Tuvalu Private Sector Development Plan. Both documents highlight agriculture, fisheries, tourism and labor mobility as key areas of export growth, all of which could be supported by e-commerce. They also note other important cross-cutting areas that are relevant to e-commerce, including competition policy and consumer protection, public procurement, intellectual property rights, and gender issues.

Indeed, with its young, dynamic and IT savvy population, Bangladesh is fertile ground for e-commerce to take root and benefit companies and end-consumers alike.

This book was released on 2020-05-18 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a growing economy, favourable geographic location and rapidly developing innovation ecosystem, Tanzania is well-positioned to integrate into the global digital economy. Economic growth over the last decade has averaged 6 to 7 per cent per year and the medium-term outlook is positive, with growth projected at 6.6 per cent in 2019 and 2020. Large public investment projects and continued foreign direct investment bode well for the future, and there is growing awareness of the benefits of new technologies (as seen by the widespread use of mobile money). Tanzanias economy has also become more diversified over the last decade. While agriculture continues to be the mainstay for the vast majority of the population, emerging sectors such as finance and communications are propelling the economy forward. Export of manufactured goods to regional markets is also growing. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) contribute to 27 per cent of the GDP and employ more than 5.2 million people . More than half of the MSMES are owned by women. As a coastal economy bordering eight countries, six of which are nearly or completely land-locked, Tanzania is well-situated to expand as a regional trade hub. E-commerce has the potential to boost the countrys economy by creating new employment opportunities, diversifying sources of income and creating new value chains. For MSMEs in particular, digital technologies provide the potential to improve access to new and existing markets and customers. There is also immense development potential in tourism.

This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eTrade Readiness Assessment of Lesotho focuses on examining seven key policy areas that are most relevant for e-commerce. Within each area, critical readiness gaps are identified and relevant recommendations are proposed to overcome barriers and bottlenecks to the growth of digital trade. The Lesotho Rapid eTrade Readiness Assessment is the eighteenth such assessment conducted by UNCTAD since the launch of the Programme in 2017. Lesotho has experienced an impressive economic growth over the past decade, with the country experiencing a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 3.6 percent annually since 2007, with its real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita increasing by 25 percent in the last decade. This growth was largely supported by increased diamond exports and the country is looking at economic diversification in a handful of sectors, such as mining, quarrying, textiles, and apparel. In this context, e-commerce can have the potential to boost the countrys economic performance, and diversify sources of incomes, improving accessibility to customers, markets and trade information, all of which play a key role for development and graduation from the LDC category. Nevertheless, the conditions for success require the adoption of a series of fundamental reforms, such as having reliable and affordable infrastructure, the necessary legal and regulatory framework in place for payments, the appropriate solutions with regard to access to finance, and building the capacity to respond the needs of the digital economy.

Book excerpt: Malgré ses difficultés pour faire face aux défis qui ont mis à lépreuve les capacités de lÉtat et de la population à sauvegarder lunité nationale et la sécurité, le Mali nest pas resté à lécart des transformations induites par les technologies de linformation et de la communication (TIC). Son gouvernement a lancé des initiatives dans les domaines de ladministration électronique et des infrastructures des TIC afin de tirer profit des opportunités fournies par le développement de ces dernières, notamment à travers ladoption du référentiel Mali Numérique 2020, une stratégie nationale pour le développement de léconomie numérique. Une nouvelle dynamique régionale, impulsée par les Ministres du Commerce de l'Union Économique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine (UEMOA) dans la Déclaration ministérielle en date du 29 septembre 2017 visant à définir un plan de travail régional pour le développement du commerce électronique, permettra de soutenir les efforts du Mali dans ce domaine. Une première étape dans la préparation de ce plan a été initiée par la Commission de lUEMOA, en coopération avec la CNUCED, avec lorganisation dun atelier régional sur le commerce électronique, organisé à Ouagadougou du 9 au 11 octobre 2018. Limpulsion dinstitutions régionales telles que lUEMOA et la Communauté Économique des États de lAfrique de lOuest (CEDEAO), a encouragé les États membres à harmoniser les politiques dintégration économique, y compris le cadre réglementaire applicable au commerce électronique, et de nouvelles réformes doivent être conduites face aux développements rapides de la digitalisation.

Download or read book COVID-19 and E-commerce written by United Nations Publications and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication assesses the impact of COVID-19 on e-commerce and digital trade. While the pandemic caused a sharp deceleration in economic activity, it also led to a rapid acceleration of e-commerce. With restrictions on movement and other public health interventions in place, digital solutions have become essential to continued delivery of economic and social activities. And, as the digital economy and e-commerce play an increased role in Sustainable Development, stakeholders at all levels have a responsibility to ensure that these technologies play a positive and powerful role in national and international recovery efforts. Indeed, those that can harness the potential of e-commerce will be better placed to benefit from global markets for their goods and services, while those that fail to do so risk falling behind. Thus, the critical global policy challenge that emerges from this study is that greater efforts are needed to help reduce inequalities in e-trade readiness that currently prevail amongst countries.
Book Synopsis Unleashing E-Commerce for South Asian Integration by : Sanjay Kathuria
Download or read book Unleashing E-Commerce for South Asian Integration written by Sanjay Kathuria and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a broader work program on shaping a more positive narrative on regional integration in South Asia. It is a follow-up to a recent flagship report published by the South Asia Region of the World Bank, A Glass Half Full: The Promise of Regional Trade in South Asia. E-commerce is dramatically changing the way goods and services are transacted nationally, regionally, and globally. It facilitates international trade by reducing the cost of distance and remoteness and can be more inclusive of underrepresented groups such as women, small businesses, and rural entrepreneurs. Intraregional trade in South Asia is still below its potential, and the region lags behind other parts of the world in activating the potential benefits from e-commerce. Adopting a novel yet practical approach, this report explores how e-commerce can be boosted to deepen intraregional trade in South Asia. It examines the main transacting models in the digital space and the channels through which e-commerce helps reduce transactions costs for firms and consumers. It considers the regulations, as well as the regulatory gaps, affecting private sector participation in e-commerce, focusing on data privacy, consumer protection, delivery, cybersecurity, market-access regulations, and digital payments. Finally, the report presents recommendations for regulatory reforms that could enhance e-trade, especially in a regional context and as a possible platform for greater global engagement by South Asian firms. The scale of these recommendations ranges from the modest, such as allowing cross-border payments and streamlining the customs regime, to the more ambitious, such as allowing the operation of regional e-commerce platforms and liberalizing related cross-border logistics services.

Book Synopsis Information Economy Report 2006 by : United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
Download or read book Information Economy Report 2006 written by United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and published by United Nations. This book was released on 2006-10-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present edition of the Report provides unique data on the adoption of ICT by enterprises in developing countries. It also explores ICT policy options in a developing-country context and proposes a framework for national ICT policy reviews and for the design and assessment of pro-poor e-strategies. The Report’s analysis of trends in core ICT indicators such as the use of Internet and mobile phone, as well as the role of broadband in promoting the information economy, concludes that the diffusion of ICT in developing countries still needs government intervention in areas where private providers might be discouraged to go because of costs associated to geographic hurdles or the absence of a critical mass of customers.
