- The new agreement will create an appropriate digital infrastructure and regulatory environment, creating a single window for traders and government authorities and leveling restrictions on cross-border data transfer.
- As well, the agreement provides for the growth of trade in services, proper protection of personal data, and improved access to public resources managed by Ukraine and Great Britain.
- Ukraine will become the second country in the world to sign a digital trade agreement with the UK. Previously, such an agreement was concluded with Singapore.

It also should reduce bureaucratic procedures and promote electronic payments, introduce digital signatures and electronic contracts.”
