The Canada-Asia Trade and Investment for Growth Regional Program

The Government of Canada has just launched a web page for an important and relatively new development program, the Canada-Asia Trade and Investment for Growth Program (TRIGR). 

The focus of the program is to increase the local capacity to connect to regional and global markets, and strengthen the investment climate of regions and countries in a sustainable way.  A key is to ensure that companies have access to infrastructure that will facilitate regional and global trade and investment. The program description notes that developing the infrastructure needed to advance Asia’s economic-integration will require considerable ongoing investment from both the private and public sectors. It is expected that the program will help to implement public-private partnerships for infrastructure development.
