About this data
The OECD Index of Digital Trade Integration and Openness (INDIGO) offers a clear, comprehensive snapshot of international digital trade discussions and commitments across 193 countries since the year 2000. Ranging from zero (no digital trade integration or openness) to one (full integration and openness across all relevant issues and partners), the OECD INDIGO captures both the breadth and depth of global digital trade engagement. It is updated annually and is designed to help policy-makers evaluate how far countries have come—and how far they have to go—toward full digital trade integration.
