The Digital Trade Launch will discuss the findings from the Hinrich Foundation and AlphaBeta's latest digital trade policy research report: "The Data Revolution: How the Philippines Can Capture the Digital Trade Opportunity at Home and Abroad."
This will provide the first comprehensive measure of the contribution of digital trade to GDP growth in the Philippines, sizing both the value of digital exports and of the productivity impacts of digital trade in domestic sectors not traditionally associated with digital technology (e.g. agriculture and infrastructure).
