KEY ISSUES FOR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE G20

Recommendations

data across borders, transportation, investment, labour markets, institutions, etc. is essential. For example, digitalisation is significantly impacting labour markets as well as tax policies, while other policy areas are just beginning to be affected. The G20 can help elaborate a whole-of-economy approach to the policy implications of the digitalisation of the economy. A common framework for analysing digitalisation at the country level, building and expanding on a quantitative assessment of digitalisation, could be useful in this regard. Insights from a range of policy communities and from all stakeholders could help provide a whole-of-government view of digitalisation and how legal frameworks and other policies may need to adapt. Another specific action G20 economies could take is to agree to make a “digital impact assessment” a requirement for any new policy changes. Sound measurement is the foundation on which good, evidence-based policy advice is based. Designing better policies for a digital economy and society requires further efforts to improve measurement and evidence, including on the spread of digital technologies themselves. Digitalisation also raises challenges for the measurement of growth and productivity. G20 economies can usefully work together to further develop crosscountry comparable metrics in areas such as e-commerce and business use of sophisticated digital technologies (e.g. cloud computing and big data analytics, among others). New areas, such as trust and the IoT, are the next frontier. All countries need to work together to fill the data gaps and in doing so enabling better benchmarking, evidence building, policy development, and the identification and prioritisation of reforms, taking into account each G20 economy’s level of development. G20 economies can help build on the G20 Data Gaps Initiative by developing and agreeing to a set of specific actions to take to develop better cross-country comparable metrics on the digital economy. Priority areas could include e-commerce and more robust metrics on firm use of digital technologies, which can be accomplished by further implementing model surveys, among other means. Emerging areas, such as trust and the IoT, could also be explored.
