THE RESULTS OF THE DIGITALIZATION OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN SOUTH ASIA
In this article, the authors conducted a study of the experience of the vanguard of global digitalization of foreign economic activity - the Republic of Korea and Japan. It was revealed that the Republic of Korea started the digitalization of foreign trade activities later, which was caused by some lag in economic terms and the Korean War that slowed down the development. Funding for the creation of the «single window» in Japan was carried out entirely at the expense of the budget, and in Korea in the form of public private partnership. Subsequently, Japan’s «single window» operator was privatized. The advantage of Japan’s «single window» was more complete interdepartmental interaction. The experience of the two countries is fully comparable, since the main cargo flows go by sea and air transport, in Japan due to the lack of land borders with other countries, and in the Republic of Korea due to the closure of the only land border with the DPRK. In general, the systems of both countries have undergone evolutionary development, involving the gradual expansion of capabilities, the inclusion of new services, and the accession of new government agencies as part of interagency cooperation. The experience of the countries studied is interesting and promising for implementation in the practice of the EEU member states, but the high costs of creation and management of the «single window» system, following the example of the Republic of Korea and Japan may become a stopping factor.
