Inquiry scope
The growth of the digital economy fundamentally challenges our understandings of how international trade operates, and raises questions about how to adapt existing trade rules and market access commitments to a digital era. This short inquiry seeks to understand how developments in digital trade and the digitisation of trade should be reflected in agreements the UK Government negotiate and sign.Reports
