Abstract
The Digital Trade Restrictiveness Index (DTRI) measures how 64 countries in the world restrict
digital trade. This new and ground-breaking index reveals that many leading economies put significant
restrictions on digital trade. These restrictions drive up costs for businesses as well as for consumers.
Free digital trade, on the other hand, provides consumers with better access to services and goods,
and helps businesses in all sectors of the economy to become more efficient and reach new customers.
