In recognizing the important of establishing a strong coordination mechanism at program implementation level for Trade and Private Sector Development, the Trade Executive Committee (TEC) mechanism has been established to provide strategic advice, coordination and common operating guidelines with regard to the implementation of trade elated programs and projects in Lao PDR. In addition, the TEC will provide a forum for transparency and information exchange in the development implementation of Trade Related Assistant.

Trade is increasingly important for the Lao PDR under its socio-economic development agenda. Strong export growth in recent years has been a key driver of economic growth and wider poverty reduction in the national economy. Almost half of the GDP growth in 2010 is likely to come from increased exports.
