A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement: Catalyst for growth of the Digital
Economy?
Description
Digitization enables trade, improves competitiveness and creates new
opportunities for businesses. From enabling multinational value chains to
giving rise to new tradeable goods and services, digitization is not only
blurring the boundaries between goods and services, but also between
jurisdictions.

However, digitization of the economy requires new ways of thinking about
trade, intellectual property, taxation, privacy, cybersecurity,
competition, skills/labor and even immigration. Also fundamental to the
development of the digital economy and trade is the underlying
infrastructure and enabling policy environment that eases barriers for new
entrants, improves competition, increasing reliability resulting in
reduction of costs to consumers.

As economies transform globally, policymakers can enhance digital trade and
the development of the digital economy through trade agreements such as the
potential Kenya – U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

The Big Question: Can a Kenya - U.S. FTA catalyze growth of the Digital
Economy?

Join us for a robust discussion providing clarity on the potential
opportunities and constraints; policy considerations and the overall impact
that a Kenya - U.S. FTA could have on digital trade and the overall ICT
sector.
