Abstract

The development of the digital economy today has proliferated along with the development of information technology. Economic digitization can affect international trade and financial inclusion, which in turn affects economic growth. How the digital economy can affect economic growth is the focus of this research. The analytical tool used is panel data analysis of 10 countries in the Southeast Asia region in 2017-2021. The results show that economic digitization is more likely to affect financial inclusion than international trade in encouraging economic growth in the Southeast Asian region.
