Asean building trade repositories

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) is building a regional Trade Repository, a web portal that will provide all information needed by a trader to conduct his business, particularly related to trade regulations and requirements.

In the Philippines, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is leading efforts to establish the country’s own National Trade Repository as chair of the Committee for the Asean Economic Community (CAEC).  The Committee is headed by Undersecretary Adrian Cristobal Jr. of the Industry Development Group of DTI.
