• The UNCTAD Creative Economy Reports prove

that a new development paradigm is emerging

• It links the economy and culture, embracing

economic, cultural, technological and social

aspects of development at both the macro and

micro levels

• Central to the new paradigm is the fact that

creativity, knowledge and access to information

are increasingly recognized as engines for growth

• The creative economy is among the most dynamic

emerging sectors in world trade and is at the

forefront of global sustainable development
