The research highlights five key instruments driving digital trade: business websites, social media, e-commerce, data analytics, and digital platforms. Among these, digital platforms are portrayed as transformative, enabling businesses to streamline operations, reduce costs, and expand into international markets without reliance on intermediaries. A significant proposal in the study is the creation of an International Digital Communication Platform for BRICS. The rationale for this platform lies in its integrative approach, unifying business entities, governmental authorities, regulatory institutions, and civil society within a coordinated, secure, and transparent digital ecosystem. The policy recommendations presented include harmonizing digital trade regulations, investing in digital infrastructure and innovative technologies, and enhancing cybersecurity standards.
