Foreign e-commerce platforms will be required to face e-invoicing and open local offices, according to recent regulations. This move aims to increase transparency and accountability in the e-commerce industry. The regulation is set to impact various foreign e-commerce platforms operating in the country.

This new regulation matters for social commerce as it may lead to increased competition and innovation in the industry. With foreign e-commerce platforms required to have a local presence, they may be more inclined to invest in social commerce features and marketing strategies to reach local customers. This could lead to more job opportunities and economic growth in the sector.
