The Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector in South East Asia has tremendous potential. E-commerce is a key driver of the digital economy in this region where policy-makers are focusing on creating a cashless society. ASEAN inked the first e-commerce agreement which aims to spur the use of e-commerce to drive the region’s economic growth, to achieve the projected growth of ASEAN’s internet economy to US$200 billion by 2025.
