SRC Policy Brief: Diagnostic Review of E-commerce Related Policies Initiatives and Legislation Across CARICOM (co-authored with Chelcee Brathwaite)

Barbados - 1 June 2020

This Report provides an overview of existing policies, initiatives and legislation across the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) which are relevant for facilitating and promoting e-commerce. After providing a brief overview of general e-commerce trends, the Report is divided into two main sections; the first offers a regional perspective, while the second examines the national situation in each of the fifteen CARICOM Member States. The information contained herein has been compiled primarily from desk research and should not be viewed as an exhaustive compilation of existing policy and legislative frameworks on e-commerce in the region. Instead, it provides initial insights on the topic which we hope will inspire further research and policy initiatives across CARICOM.
