The Commonwealth is pushing the development of a legal framework to support the digital economy and boost trade across the Caribbean.
According to statement from the organization, if governments remove the legal requirement for commercial trade documents to be handled on paper and align legal systems to the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) to enable digital documents to cross borders, it will unlock a US$1.2tn trade opportunity across Commonwealth nations. If coupled with the digitization of customs, that figure rises to US$2tn, twice the 2030 intra-Commonwealth trade target.
