Pandemic boosted e-commerce last year, says Unctad

THE Covid-19 pandemic provided a boost for e-commerce last year, but the digital windfall was not enjoyed equally across the board, a UN study found today.

“Although it will take some time to get the full picture of the impact of Covid-19 on e-commerce … a number of developments point to the strong rise in e-commerce in 2020,” said the report by the UN Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad).
