Creative Economy report
The second Creative Economy report of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is officially launched today (11 March) at King's College London by Edna Dos Santos-Duisenberg, Chief of the Creative Economy and Industries Programme at UNCTAD. Professor Andy C Pratt, Head of the Centre of Culture, Media & Creative Industries at King's advised UNCTAD on the report. The report has re-shaped the landscape of government agencies discussing this sector, and provides an important touchstone for future debate. The Creative Economy report was first produced by UNCTAD in 2008. It contained two parts: first a conceptual framework for the proper consideration of the creative economy and international trade, an international framework for measurement and assessment, and for benchmarking and evaluation; second, a statistical compendium of data derived from the UN COMTRADE and processed uniquely in this report. Since its publication it has become a template for debates about creative economy and international trade, and the question of development. The second edition of the report updates the data base, and refines the contextual information.
