This workshop is organized in response to a request for technical assistance from the Electronic Transactions Development Agency of Thailand (ETDA) regarding the measurement of e-commerce.
It aims to facilitate the sharing of experiences on e-commerce statistics in order to identify commonly agreed practices and methodologies for producing internationally comparable indicators.
Selected national experts are invited to share their experience, discuss methodological guidelines and provide feedback on the approach developed in Thailand.
UNCTAD's work programme on measuring the information economy has been helping developing countries since 2004 to produce internationally comparable ICT statistics and indicators for effective ICT policy making.
The issue of e-commerce measurement has also been discussed in the UNCTAD Information Economy Report 2015.
