Message from the Trade Minister, Hon. Richard Maru.
The key objective of the Policy is to promote sustainable economic growth of our country through encouraging investment in the renewable sector, encourage downstream processing, import substitution, and export diversification development.
I am extremely excited about the National Trade Portal and its potential to foster trade in Papua New Guinea. The portal will provide a central platform for businesses to connect and access information on trade opportunities, regulations, and market intelligence. This will greatly simplify and streamline the process of doing business in the country, making it easier for companies to navigate the complex trade landscape and identify new opportunities.
Minister's Priorities
The National Trade Portal is a One-Stop-Shop for all things TRADE.
