The digital economy is improving productivity and competitiveness within and across economies. It could also have substantial positive effects on macroeconomic performance as well as enhance regional and global economic integration and help economies achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. At the same time, policy makers must consider digitalization’s impacts on international capital flows, trade, and labor markets.
This ADBI-Singapore Management University virtual conference featured new research on the role of digitalization in enhancing sustainable, inclusive, and balanced growth in Asia.
