The growth in the digital commerce space noted by the Inter-American Development Bank and the World Trade Organisation in Latin America and the Caribbean is not surprising. The digital superhighway has been a thing since the invention of the internet.
Now, the LAC is just now seeing the potential to grasp it and harness its advantages to bring benefits to the citizenry.
We often look at leviathans like Amazon and Alibaba as something that is unattainable for people in the LAC. While that may be true to a large extent, let us not forget that e-commerce is more than just those large online stores.
With the visit to your commercial bank of choice, anyone with a business license can get a digital payment platform where they can receive payments.
Additionally, with the growth of the internet, anyone with a small understanding of how to build a website can promote their goods for sale and export and make a few extra dollars for themselves.
The digital commerce world is wide open for the people of LAC. Take firm hold of it.
