The dynamics of digital transformation

The rapid acceleration of digital transformation has led to profound changes across the Asia-Pacific region. While some aspects of this transformation were deliberate and planned, others were spontaneous, resulting in unforeseen impacts for which societies remain largely unprepared. The task for policymakers now is to understand the implications of these dynamic developments so as to foster innovation and enterprise, and guide these transformations in their most efficient, productive and fair directions. Governments should ensure that everyone is included, especially the poorest and most vulnerable groups, so that digital dividends are equitably shared.
