CAREC Institute Expert Roundtable Discussion On Digital CAREC

On 21 May 2021, the CAREC Institute conducted a roundtable discussion where our staff engaged with the PRC and ADB experts to present research findings and discuss various aspects of digitalization in the CAREC region. Participants took on topics such as digital CAREC, cross-border e-commerce, regulatory and infrastructure challenges for e-commerce development in CAREC, fintech and financial inclusion, and trade finance.

In 2021, in addition to workshops, policy dialogues and research conferences, the CAREC Institute has started holding high-level expert roundtables with an aspiration to shape national and regional discussions on pressing issues of regional economic cooperation in and around the CAREC Program priority areas. The results of this discussion will contribute to the upcoming Digital CAREC strategy.
