Abstract

This article examines the role of the G7 and G20 in ensuring resilient supply chains for the digital economy in the Indo-Pacific. It situates supply chain governance within the broader regulatory and economic debates of this special issue, which addresses digital transformation and legal coordination in the region. The article argues that multilateral economic forums shape supply chain stability through trade policy, investment frameworks, and industrial coordination, complementing regional agreements such as ASEAN, IPEF, and RCEP. Japan’s semiconductor policy serves as a case study to demonstrate how national strategies interact with global governance structures from both policy and legal perspectives. The analysis shows that supply chain resilience cannot be addressed solely through national or regional policies. Multilateral coordination is necessary to mitigate economic disruptions, geopolitical risks, and regulatory fragmentation. This supports the special issue’s focus on regulatory alignment in the Indo-Pacific, highlighting supply chains as a critical yet underexplored foundation of digital economic governance.
