International Trade in a Digital ERA – An Overview

Issue Abstract

Abstract
Digital technology is shaping the future of global trade and investment. One aspect of the adoption of digital technology by global exporters and importers is the purchase and sale of goods and services online, which is part of what is broadly understood as “e-commerce”. The digital revolution is transforming the players, patterns, and possibilities of world trade. It is opening opportunities for millions of micro-entrepreneurs and small businesses to engage in cross-border trade, grow into multinational sellers, and craft their global supply chains. The rising importance of digital trade was already noted by international organizations in the late 1990s.
Keywords: International Trade, Digital Technology, Digital Trade
