• 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
