Perfiles Económicos del Asia Pacífico 2025

Ver Perfiles Económicos del Asia Pacífico 2025 Nos complace compartir los Perfiles Económicos del Asia Pacífico, publicación señera de la Fundación Chilena del Pacífico en alianza con la Subsecretaría de Relaciones Económicas Internacionales (SUBREI) del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Chile. En esta ocasión nos adentramos en el enorme potencial de la economía digital para Chile, para lo que examinamos las políticas públicas, modelos de gobernanza y experiencia de una selección de países de la Cuenca del Pacífico que han destacado en su desarrollo e incorporación a los movimientos de sus respectivas economías en general. El comercio digital se ha consolidado como una de las fuerzas más transformadoras del siglo XXI. Las exportaciones mundiales de servicios suministrados digitalmente alcanzaron US$ 4,64 billones en 2024, nada menos que un 14,5% del comercio mundial. En este contexto, Asia-Pacífico emerge como líder global, con el 22,9% de estas exportaciones, con un crecimiento anual del 11%. A través de cuatro casos de estudios, así como un análisis sustancial respecto a nuestro país, los Perfiles Económicos del 2025 muestran que el comercio digital no es sólo una oportunidad de crecimiento, sino una condición estructural para la competitividad del siglo XXI. Los Perfiles Económicos del Asia Pacífico 2025 ahondan en los casos de Singapur, con su valor en la arquitectura institucional (aduanas, bancos y logística funcionando como un solo sistema interconectado); la República de Corea, que resolvió el problema más difícil, el de llevar a las PYMES al comercio digital global, con el 55% de sus empresas pequeñas operando en e-commerce; China, donde con un modelo en el que el Estado orienta el desarrollo digital como política industrial; y Australia, que proyecta influencia global por la consistencia y confiabilidad de sus marcos regulatorios. Chile ha construido bases sólidas a través de acuerdos como el DEPA —el primer acuerdo internacional centrado exclusivamente en economía digital—, el CPTPP y su marco normativo actualizado, que en los últimos años incorporó leyes en protección de datos personales, ciberseguridad y fintech. Las exportaciones de servicios nacionales TIC alcanzaron US$ 977 millones en 2024, con un crecimiento del 17%, mientras que el comercio electrónico interno ya representa el 3,7% del PIB. El desafío es que estos avances se conviertan en una estrategia integral que combine apertura comercial, transformación productiva e inclusión digital, posicionando al país como puente tecnológico entre América Latina y los mercados de Asia y Oceanía.

Asia Pacific Economic Profiles 2025

See Asia Pacific Economic Profiles 2025 We are pleased to share the Asia-Pacific Economic Profiles, a flagship publication of the Chile Pacific Foundation in partnership with the Undersecretariat for International Economic Affairs (SUBREI) of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On this occasion, we delve into the enormous potential of the digital economy for Chile, examining the public policies, governance models, and experiences of a selection of countries in the Pacific Basin that have excelled in their development and incorporation into the movements of their respective economies in general. Digital commerce has established itself as one of the most transformative forces of the 21st century. Global exports of digitally delivered services reached US$4.64 trillion in 2024, accounting for no less than 14.5% of world trade. In this context, Asia-Pacific emerges as the global leader, with 22.9% of these exports and annual growth of 11%. Through four case studies, as well as a substantial analysis of our country, the 2025 Economic Profiles show that digital trade is not only an opportunity for growth, but a structural condition for competitiveness in the 21st century. The Asia-Pacific Economic Profiles 2025 delve into the cases of Singapore, with its value in institutional architecture (customs, banks, and logistics functioning as a single interconnected system); the Republic of Korea, which solved the most difficult problem of bringing SMEs into global digital commerce, with 55% of its small businesses operating in e-commerce; China, where the state guides digital development as an industrial policy; and Australia, which projects global influence through the consistency and reliability of its regulatory frameworks. Chile has built a solid foundation through agreements such as DEPA—the first international agreement focused exclusively on the digital economy—CPTPP, and its updated regulatory framework, which in recent years has incorporated laws on personal data protection, cybersecurity, and fintech. Exports of national ICT services reached US$977 million in 2024, with growth of 17%, while domestic e-commerce already accounts for 3.7% of GDP. The challenge is to turn these advances into a comprehensive strategy that combines trade liberalization, productive transformation, and digital inclusion, positioning the country as a technological bridge between Latin America and the markets of Asia and Oceania.
