A Preliminary Mapping of Data Localisation Measures
This paper maps the evolving data localisation landscape. It shows that the number
of data localisation measures is on the rise and that the measures themselves are
becoming more restrictive. The paper highlights the need to better understand and
monitor the evolving regulatory environment with a view to enabling empirical analysis
of the economic and societal implications of data localisation. This is an issue which
is particularly important in the context of ongoing discussions on data localisation,
be they in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) or in the context of the WTO Joint
Statement Initiative on e-commerce.
