On 26 September 2018, the Networked Trade Platform was officially launched by the Minister for Finance

Introduction to the NTP: Background

The NTP is a transformational platform, which will take us from a traditional national single window which gives traders a one-stop interface for all trade related regulatory transactions, to a one-stop interface that will enable them to interact with all business partners, stakeholders and regulators on trade related transactions. This will help companies raise productivity, boost competitiveness, and uncover new opportunities…

…Going forward, we must work towards greater connectivity, especially with our trading partners around the world. Our vision is for this to be a truly global network, to enable the efficient flow of goods and services, linked to a secure flow of financing, facilitated by a swift exchange of data, so that all parties, including regulatory and Customs authorities, can work together to facilitate trade.
