Abstract: Generating more than two-thirds of global gross domestic product (GDP) and employing over seventy percent of workers in advanced economies, services are crucial to economic prosperity today and continual growth in the future. Today, trade in services accounts for twenty per cent of global gross trade and more than fifty per cent of the value-added in gross exports. Further, services trade is highly complementary with trade in goods, representing more than thirty percent of the value added of manufacturing exports. As the fourth industrial revolution progresses, trade in services, including digitally-delivered cross-border trade as well as traded services supporting global manufacturing, will continue to be a key driver of advanced economic development.
