The Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC) yesterday said it recognises the digital economy as a key enabler for Sri Lanka’s economic growth acceleration.
National Digital Economy Strategy 2030, recently published by the Technology Ministry, provides a road map to unlock the benefits of the digital economy. The strategy focuses on the improvement of the digital infrastructure, implementation of the digital ID, improving cybersecurity legislation, connected digital government and enhancing digital skills for government and industry. These policy areas have been advocated by the CCC in the past, most notably on the swift implementation of the digital ID.
The CCC was involved in the consultation process for the drafting of the strategy with representation in the high-level officers committee coordinated by the secretary to prime minister and provided further input and guidance through the digital economy committee of the CCC.
“With the strategy document now open for public and stakeholder review, it is an ideal opportunity for further engagement to strengthen the strategy and plan of action,” the CCC said.
As with most strategies, the important aspect is the implementation of the policy. The strategy document outlines the institutional framework for implementation and a proposed plan of action.
“It is vital that it is implemented with the ownership from the government and collaboration with the industry stakeholders,” the CCC stressed.
