Summary:

This book explores the impact of information technology on trade facilitation, focusing primarily on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Asia and the Pacific. It is a comprehensive study conducted by the Asia-Pacific Research and Training Network on Trade (ARTNeT), supported by international organizations such as the UN and the WTO. The research investigates how modern information and communication technologies (ICT) are used in trade facilitation measures and their effects on SMEs' participation in international trade. By analyzing case studies from countries like Korea, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines, the book provides insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by SMEs in accessing and benefiting from ICT-enabled trade facilitation. This work aims to address the imbalance in trade advantages between large firms and SMEs, offering policy recommendations to enhance inclusivity in international trade. Generated by AI.
