Word From the Minister
The global value chains and trade have a huge impact on national economies, particularly through the exchange of goods and services across international borders or territories. International trade represents a large share of the gross domestic product of most countries. Supporting the continued movement of capital, goods, and services between countries is therefore of huge importance not only to the health and wellbeing of individuals but also to the economic health of entire nations around the globe.
