What's new?

ECIPE

At ECIPE we have developed the Digital Trade Restrictiveness Index (DTRI). The 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 in all fields of digital trade. The DTRI is based on a wide spectrum of digital trade policies covering more than 100 categories of policy measures.

The index is the first global initiative to provide transparency of applied digital trade restrictions and sheds light on how countries compare with each other. The index is based on the Digital Trade Estimates (DTE), a database that ECIPE has developed and that is freely available for anyone to use.
