Against the backdrop of the growing importance of data and data flows for all sectors of the economy, this chapter provides valuable information and insights about the current state of global trade law that may help policy-makers down the road in addressing data issues. In this sense, the chapter has a two-prong objective: first, it seeks to clarify the interfaces between the data-driven economy and existing trade law; second and more importantly, it traces the regulatory responses and the emerging legal design in preferential trade agreements (PTAs) with regard to digital trade and data flows in particular.
