      History

      The Trade Division was formed when the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was replaced by the Ministry of Industry and Trade in 1982. It had no immediate predecessor, but acquired some functions from the Industry Division (which continued to exist after 1982) and from the Policy and Priorities Division.

      Within the new division, two branches were created: the International Trade and Investment Branch, and the Trade Policy and Analysis Branch. The division was also responsible for administering the international offices of the ministry.

      The Trade Division ceased to exist when parts of the Trade Division and the Industry Division were combined together in a single, new division in November, 1986, known as Industry and Trade Expansion.
