Trends in Digitally-Enabled Trade in Services

Digitally-enabled services are those for which digital information and communications technologies (ICT) play an important role in facilitating cross-border trade in services. Improvements in ICT technologies and reductions in their costs could be expected to contribute to growth in trade in services. BEA’s statistics on trade in services can be used to examine trends in exports and imports of services whose trade is enabled by digital technologies.
