We are pleased to inform you that the Trade and Industry Rules, following a comprehensive review and deliberation, have been approved by the Cabinet. This development is a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to enhance and regulate trade and industrial activities in our country.

These rules have been formulated after extensive consultation with various stakeholders, and the invaluable input received from organizations such as the Bhutan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI). The concerns and recommendations put forth during these consultations were thoughtfully considered, and the rules have been drafted to strike a balance that ensures fairness, transparency, and progress in our trade and industry sectors.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all those who actively participated in this collaborative process, particularly the BCCI, for their constructive engagement. The Trade and Industry Rules will serve as a guiding framework for all economic activities in our region, and we are confident that they will contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation.
