The Department of Industry is
entrusted with the responsibility to foster sustainable industrial
development in harmony with national objectives and priorities.
Accordingly, its functions are promotional as well as regulatory by
nature covering the industrial sector classified broadly under
manufacturing and services. The Royal Government's focus on
industrialization through the private sector has magnified the
facilitative role of the Department to create an enabling environment
for industrial development and support private sector initiatives.
Regulatory
services comprise the implementation of various rules and regulations
governing the industrial sector to promote deeper integration and
linkages to other sectors and avoid conflicts in development. In doing
so, sectoral requirements are integrated to maintain coherence and
compatibility with the priorities and objectives of other sectors.
The
Department has three Divisions and a Project Unit to undertake programs
and projects at the headquarters. Four Regional Trade & Industry
Offices provide field support in the implementation of rules and
regulations.
