State of play in e-commerce and the digital economy

E-commerce and the digital economy continue to evolve, providing both opportunities and challenges for all countries. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are expanding as an important segment of the global economy. Global production of ICT goods and services makes up roughly 6.5 per cent of the global gross domestic product (GDP). Over 100 million people work in the ICT services sector, and exports of ICT goods amounted to about $1.9 trillion in 2017.
