Services & digital trade
The Australian Government is taking a leadership role on digital trade rules through negotiating ambitious rules in our free trade agreements (FTAs) and in the World Trade Organization (WTO) where Australia jointly co-convenes, with Singapore and Japan, the Joint Statement Initiative on Electronic Commerce. To ensure our engagement continues to support Australian businesses, including MSMEs, and consumers to take advantage of the opportunities presented by digital trade, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade wants to hear from you – business, NGOs, civil society, academia and individuals – on your experience of the digital economy. This will help us assess current digital trade rules and possible future enhancements.
