Episode 18: Celebrating the Joint Statement Initiative on Electronic Commerce with ASR’s Holly Dorber

In Episode 18 of Trade Policy Decoded, Peter and Pru speak to the President of the Australian Services Roundtable, Holly Dorber, about the Joint Statement Initiative on Electronic Commerce – commonly known as the JSI. This groundbreaking agreement provides a set of rules and principles guiding the development of the digital economy. While negotiated outside the World Trade Organisation, 91 economies were involved in its design and 82 have so far signed on to the text. It has major positive outcomes for Australian business, particularly SMEs, and is an awesome outcome demonstrating the ability of countries to cooperate particularly in the current climate.
