Quantifying digitalisation’s economic impact on digital trade

The Opportunity

The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) engaged us to assess the economic impact of digitalisation on digital trade across member economies. With digital trade rapidly transforming markets, the client sought robust, evidence-based insights to support policy dialogue and enhance understanding of how digital technologies drive trade efficiency and economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Solution

Access Partnership produced a comprehensive economic impact report analysing digitalisation’s influence on digital trade flows and productivity across multiple APEC economies. To fill gaps in existing research, we developed a novel methodology to estimate digitalisation levels across APEC economies. This enabled a more precise analysis of digitalisation’s role in digital trade, combining economic modelling with sector insights to identify key drivers and policy levers.

The Impact

  • Produced clear, actionable recommendations for APEC policymakers
  • Provided capacity building for APEC policymakers on how to accelerate digitalisation
  • Highlighted specific use cases of digitalisation to impact the future of trade
