The inaugural DPI 2020 is the first index to establish an objective, data protection assessment mechanism based on the seven Principles of Personal Data Protection in the ASEAN Framework on Personal Data Protection 2016. It scores 30 markets across 12 questions that assess an economy’s data protection laws and regulatory environment. To enable policymakers to conduct comparisons on a national and international level, this first iteration of the DPI includes all economies represented in ASEAN (10 member states), APEC (21 member economies), and the G20 (20 member economies).
