History
The Policy Division of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade was formed when the ministry was created in 1993. It replaced the Policy and Development Division of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology.
At creation, it consisted of the Business Development Policy Branch, the Trade Policy Branch and the Industry and Technology Policy Branch.
In 1995 the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade was replaced with the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism. The Policy Division survived for approximately one year after the formation of the new ministry. During that year, tourism policy continued to be administered separately by the Tourism Policy Branch, within the Tourism Division.
The Policy Division had no immediate successor. Upon the completion of ministry restructuring in 1996, policy functions appear to have been divided amongst the various divisions. The Trade Policy Branch continued to exist within the Strategic Analysis, Sectors and Technology Division. A Strategic Planning and Co- ordination Branch was founded in the Marketing and Trade Division.
