The database offers novel information on laws and regulations on digital trade for 121 economies around the world, out of which 95 are developing countries. The database reflects countries’ regulatory framework on specific matters directly relevant to digital trade, structure on nine “regulatory areas” (i.e., i) electronic documents; ii) electronic signature & digital ID; iii) paperless trade; iv) online consumer protection; v) data protection; vi) artificial Intelligence; vii) cybersecurity & cybercrime; viii) cross-border data; and ix) intermediary liability) distributed along three policy pillars, namely electronic transactions, trust-building regulation, and platform regulation. Altogether, the DTRR offers more than 13,000 datapoints, including over 5,200 regulatory measures currently in effect. “Traceability,” a central feature of the DTRR, ensures the quality of the information, so that each of positive datapoints can be traced back to the specific provision, paragraph, and/or section number that supports them.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGODIGITAL TRADEDIGITAL TRADE REGULATORY READINESS (DTRR)DTRR REGULATORY AREASDTRR DATABASE METHODOLOGYReportWorld Bank
