Interested in trading with one of the 55 UNECE member countries?

UNECE's new Directory contains all the key contacts

Geneva, 1 April 2003 - The legal and institutional environment supporting trade is constantly changing. This makes it difficult to understand trade regulations and requirements at an international level, placing smaller enterprises and lower income countries at a disadvantage.

To fill the "information gap" within its region, the UNECE has developed a Trade Promotion Directory. The Directory offers enterprises and investors the major contacts and information they need for doing business. It is published on the web and can be accessed from the web site of the UNECE Committee for Trade, Industry and Enterprise Development at:

http://www.unece.org/trade/

All UNECE member States are included, i.e. all countries in Western, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Caucasus, the United States, Canada and Israel. The information is organized by country, and under each country are lists of organizations that deal with the following areas:

  • Information for investment and enterprises
  • Government organizations and other supporting organizations
  • Trade facilitation
  • Corporate governance (including regulatory agencies)
  • Trade and enterprise financing
  • Chambers of commerce and business associations
  • Sectoral business associations
