Launch of the Information Economy Report 2017

The Report will examine how increased digitalization is influencing international trade and what the implications might be for developing countries.

It will provide an update on prevailing digital divides and examine the early stages of the New Digital Economy which will eventually influence virtually all value chains.

The Report will build on UNCTAD’s earlier work on information and communications technology and e-commerce for development, new statistical analysis and contributions from leading experts, and will conclude with concrete policy recommendations.
