Promoting Policy and Cooperation to Support Creativity

The cultural and creative industries (CCIs) and sectors are at the heart of the creative economy and provide
a major contribution to growth and sustainable development. These industries are knowledge-intensive,
based on creativity and innovation, and account for 3.1 per cent of global GDP and 6.2 per cent of all
employment. However, like all other industries, cultural industries need to be regulated and supported to
have environments conducive to their development.
