Singapore and the UK have wrapped up negotiations on a digital economy agreement that focuses on digital trade, data flows, and cybersecurity. Under the pact, both nations will look to establish, amongst others, interoperable systems for digital payments, secured data flows, and digital identities, as well as collaborate on cybersecurity.
When formally inked, the digital economy agreement would be Singapore’s third following two others it signed with Chile and New Zealand as well as Australia.
The UK agreement included “binding disciplines” of the digital economy such as data, and cooperation in emerging areas including artificial intelligence, fintech, digital identities, and legal technology.
