A working group on finance and trade made its debut in Hanoi on September 22 to help financial and banking service providers to facilitate export activities.

The group, comprising representatives from ministries, sectors, banks, business associations, trade promotion organisations and exporters, made its debut at a seminar on trade and export promotion in Hanoi on September 22.

The group will devise policies and practical activities to further enhance relations between businesses and banks so as to help businesses obtain easier access to capital sources and updated financial and trade information.

The seminar was part of a project on trade promotion and export development co-sponsored by the Swiss and Swedish governments.
