4.1  FOCUS AREA

The digital business pillar focuses on the development 

of a robust digital market characterised by increased 

quality of financial inclusion, fair competition, resil-

ient data infrastructure, advanced consumer protec-

tion and greater regional integration This pillar has 

three main focus areas namely: digital trade, digital 

financial  services  and  digital  content.  It  identifies 

the necessary precursor to the emergence of platform 

economies as:

i.  Identification: The unique and incontrovertible 

identification of parties, places and goods in a 

transaction

ii. Pervasive, reliable communications: reliable 

networks, hardware and connectivity between 

parties and platform providers

iii. Trust: Timely contract recognition and enforce-

ment either by judicial action or on-platform sanc-

tions. Legal and systematic guarantees of security 

and privacy of information.
