National Trade Blueprint

Delivering The National Trade Blueprint To streamline the activities pertaining to the implementation of recommendations under the National Trade Blueprint, it is proposed that the existing JK-X structure be expanded as a single platform that facilitates the various recommendations proposed, allows regular monitoring of the implementation and removal of bottlenecks, thereby achieving the intended goals of the blueprint. In general, the National Trade Blueprint needs to be effectively coordinated within several stakeholders from the public and private scene to ensure key issues are identified and addressed effectively. The committee should also leverage on existing task force and sectoral blueprints to minimise overlap. With the involvement of industry players in the proposed governance structure, it could provide a forum for the exchange of views and sharing of information, identification of obstacles faced by the exporters and mechanisms to overcome them, all of which ultimately supports the shared objective of sustained growth for Malaysian exports.
