  • Diagnostic Trade Integration Strategy Update 2020
    DIAGNOSTIC TRADE INTEGRATION STRATEGY UPDATE 2020 Foreword The Ministry of Economic Affairs is pleased to publish the Diagnostic Trade Integration Update (DTISU), initiated in December, 2019. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic, the Ministry in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme has conducted the DTISU exercise successfully and been able to come up with a comprehensive and actionable DTISU document. The first Diagnostic Trade Integration Study (DTIS) was published in 2012 and the study has been an important guiding document for trade policy and other trade-related interventions for the Royal Government thus far. Bhutan’s economy has been growing steadily since the launch of the first DTIS. However, the economy has been Mr Loknath Sharma severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and is likely to take time for its full recovery. Without timely and appropriate interventions, the disruption will not only derail the economic trajectory, but, also impact Bhutan's smooth transition from the least developed to developing country category. Therefore, the DTISU is a timely intervention that will not only aid Bhutan’s economic recovery and graduation from the Least Developed Country (LDC) category but also help in realizing Bhutan's economic self-reliance in the long run. In a nutshell, the DTISU provides a clear analysis of the new priorities and challenges ahead for the growth of the Bhutanese economy with the Ministry of Economic Affairs at the forefront and specific action plans for relevant stakeholders. The study, in particular, underscores the instrumental role of trade facilitation and trade agreements in creating a favourable trading environment for Bhutan with clear analysis of Bhutan’s trade competitiveness factors and long-term policy recommendations.

  • Annual Report, 2018
    “Law is not confined to the courts or the legislatures that draft them. Law is like the air that every person breathes at every moment. Its presence is unnoticed but its absence will be lethal. We must respect law and law must be upheld without question just as we do not question the need to breathe.” st - His Majesty the Druk Gyalpo’s address to the National Judicial Conference on 21 July, 2010. ANNUAL REPORT 2018 | i “Mirror and Vajra” as office logo has religious and temporal or secular significance, historical bearing and legal relevance. The mirror symbolizes transparency, which reveals everything and reflects the actual deeds of a person irrespective of his/her representation. It is believed that Guru Rinpoche had used the Vajra to tame the devils. Analogically, Vajra symbolizes the indestructible, firmness and unwavering nature of law to tame the demonic forces and wrong doers. The caption “Seek Truth & Ensure Justice” below the pictorial logo signifies that the function of the Office of the Attorney General is to seek truth in every dispute/case and ensure that justice is sought through due process of law and lawful conduct of the State. The black colour in the background of the logo symbolizes the power of the authority to act.

MANIFESTO 2013 : DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA iv Foreword by the PRESIDENT e, the Bhutanese are once more on the threshold of exercising our fundamental rights of shaping the Wdestiny of this nation, our motherland. This choice that we make will either set ablaze the ideals of democracy that we so deeply treasure. This historic hour summons DNT to rise up and answer to the call and the yearning of the Bhutanese citizens for a country that is united in peace and harmony; a government that is strong, stable and trust worthy; an economy that is progressive and sustainable; a society that prioritises happiness and bear responsibility for the elderly and the vulnerable; and a party that connects with people and bridges the gaping disparities between the rich and the downtrodden. Our kings have consolidated our sovereignty, strengthened our institutions and prepared us for the future. With democracy, all that we have witnessed in the last fi ve years was a chain of uneventful happenings: the collapse of our economy; failures and losses in opportunities; escalation in corruption and nepotism; gaping holes and disastrous fl aws in policies, of which rupee shortage and credit crunch stands as just one example. This has slackened businesses and put household plans to a standstill. Thus, 2013 beckons the Bhutanese for a greater responsibility and a fuller participation towards making a wiser choice & we must rise up and let our voices ring loud and clear to usher in change.
