BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Employment (MoICE) was established on December 30, 2022. This new Ministry was formed as a part of the structural reforms undertaken by the Royal Civil Service Commission (RCSC). The Ministry is the amalgamation of the departments under the three former ministries – Ministry of Labour and Human Resources (MoLHR), Ministry of Information and Communication (MoIC), and Ministry of Economic Affairs (MoEA).
The Department of Labour and Department of Employment and Entrepreneurship under former MoLHR have been clubbed with MoICE. Three departments under the MoEA namely, Department of Trade, Department of Industry, and Office of the Consumer Protection (renamed Competition and Consumer Affairs Authority) were also moved under the MoICE.
The erstwhile Tourism Council of Bhutan has been subsumed under the MoICE as the Department of Tourism and will function as the secretariat to the Tourism Commission of Bhutan. The new Department of Media, Creative Industry and Intellectual Property under MoICE is formed by consolidating the Department of Information and Media and Department of Intellectual Property which were under former ministries of MoIC and MoEA respectively.
The Media Council of Bhutan and the National Film Commission are merged with Bhutan InfoComm and Media Authority (BICMA), and it shall be administratively under the MoICE, and shall serve as secretariat to the Authority. Similarly, the Bhutan Standards Bureau has been folded under the MoICE and will function as the secretariat to the Bureau.
