Digital trade regulatory integration Country profile : Chad

Abstract

The development of digital trade and its associated challenges have led States to develop new regulations to bring the legislative framework into line with these issues. The purpose of these regulations is to promote digital trade, attract foreign investment, secure the protection of personal data and ensure the sound and transparent application of international conventions to which Chad is a signatory. This report provides a profile of digital regulation in Chad, based on the information collected as input for the two indices. Sections 2 and 3 summarize the main results for the digital services trade restrictiveness index and the regional digital trade integration index, respectively. Section 4 puts forward recommendations on improving the regulatory environment for digital trade in Chad.
