      History

      The Trade and Industry Division was created on 11 April 1968 when the Department of Economics and Development was replaced with the Department of Trade and Development. The Trade and Industry Division replaced the former Trade and Industry Branch.

      The new division consisted of several branches: the Marketing Branch, the Trade Fairs Branch, the Research Branch, the Industrial Development Branch and the International Branch.

      The division ceased to exist when the Ministry of Industry and Tourism was created in April, 1972. The functions of the division were divided among several agencies in the new ministry. The International Branch became the International Division, the Industrial Development Branch continued to exist, within the Business Development Division, the Research Branch was absorbed by the Research Services Division, and the Marketing Branch was absorbed by the Industrial and Marketing Studies Branch.
