A Kenya - U.S. Free Trade Agreement

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).
