Digital Exports and Cross-border Data Flows
About the project
Partner:CUTS International, IndiaProject duration: April 2021- December 2021
As digital transformation facilitated easier global and digital trade, new business models have come to the fore that increasingly relied on data at their core. This has also led to emergence of novel risks with respect to misuse of data. As a result, many countries including Bangladesh are beginning to consider data protection and restriction policies. Such policies regulate the use of data including and provide for data privacy and security. According to various empirical studies, data restriction policies affect abilities of the companies to choose the most efficient channel for trading services and thus, may disincentivise businesses and investment opportunities including productivity loss for local companies dependent on data. Against this backdrop, this study aims to empirically understand the impact of policy measures that restrict cross border data flows on the digital services exports of Bangladesh.
