A landmark e-commerce agreement, endorsed by over 90 countries under the World Trade Organization, establishes global rules for digital trade. Led by Japan, Australia, and Singapore, this pact mandates the recognition of e-signatures, paperless transactions, and bans customs duties on digital content. It aims to enhance consumer protection, curb online fraud, and integrate developing countries into the global digital economy. UK officials estimate this transition could inject up to £24.2 billion into the UK economy, significantly boosting international trade efficiency and economic growth. The agreement, which took five years to negotiate, is expected to add billions to global GDP and foster a more secure and equitable digital trade environment. These developments support businesses, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises, in accessing new markets.
