INTRODUCTION (TDAP):
The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) which was established on November
8, 2006, under a presidential Ordinance shall have Ministry of Commerce as its
Administrative Ministry. TDAP is the Successor Organization to the Export Promotion
Bureau (EPB) and is mendated to have holistic view of global trade development rather than
only the “Expot Oromotion” perspective of its predecessor. Designated s a premier trade
organization of the country, TDAP shall be Dedicated, effective and an empowered
organization which shall be professionally managed.
Set up in 1963 as an attached department of the Ministry of Commerce, the Export Promotion
Bureau facilitated exporters across the country. More than 20,000 exporters were facilitated
and part-funded to exhibit their goods abroad, and thus grow their exports. Over 2,000 trade
delegations were sent abroad or hosted in Pakistan in the 43 years of EPB. It provided a
forum for dispute resolution between exporters and importers through the mechanism of
commercial courts in collaboration with the judiciary.
EPB thus contributed in a significant manner, as Pakistan’s exports - reported at just under
quarter of a billion dollars in 1963 - increased by over 70 times to touch nearly US $ 16.5
billion in 2005/06. However, professional human resources were lacking at the times of EPB,
and so in order to improve this deficiency, and to change the image of EPB as a

“Bureaucratic Organization”, need was felt for EPB’s metamorphosis into a more dynamic,
professionally well-equipped organization, which was to be the TDAP
