The Global Digital Regulatory Outlook 2023 benchmarks regulatory progress across 193 countries worldwide, building on the successful track record of the first three editions. This new analysis is the go-to reference for regulators and policy-makers seeking to understand a fast-moving landscape – and shape regulatory change that will benefit all in the quest for digital transformation. Almost a third of humanity remains unconnected – a sober reminder of the work that lies ahead.
Since the first edition of the Global ICT Regulatory Outlook in 2017, much has changed at the global level: the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly urgent challenges linked to climate change, and economic and geopolitical turmoil. Against this shifting backdrop, the Global Digital Regulatory Outlook 2023 takes a close look at trends, tensions, and possible solutions and strategies to some of the more daunting – and continually evolving – challenges confronting regulators and policy-makers today. A number of regulatory issues are growing in importance – competition in digital markets, artificial intelligence, and online financial services to name a few. This year’s edition invites thinking and debate on those issues to help evolve regulatory approaches suited to the unique challenges they represent. In addition, the Global Digital Regulatory Outlook 2023 unveils the latest in its suite of highly specialized tools: a unified framework for assessing the state of readiness of national policy, legal and governance frameworks for digital transformation, while supporting national ICT regulators in evidence-based decision-making. The unified framework is based on the tried-and-tested G5 Benchmark and the ICT Regulatory Tracker with which we are all familiar.
