Franchising in Malaysia is growing partly due to its popularity as a preferred way of doing business. In recognising this trend, the government through Perbadanan Nasional Berhad (PNS) takes the leading role in nurturing and developing the local franchise industry. The Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) adds to the value chain by providing information, network and trade promotion vehicles in promoting Malaysia’s franchise business.
As the national trade promotion agency, MATRADE has been mandated to develop and promote Malaysia’s exports of products and services. Through its network of 40 offices worldwide, MATRADE assists Malaysian exporters to identify market opportunities, find business partners and provide market intelligence. MATRADE’s trade promotion programme for 2010 has been fine-tuned to the needs of Malaysian exporters so as to strengthen their market presence in the midst of a recovering global economy. Moreover, it is important for Malaysian companies to remain visible in the international marketplace and continue exporting despite the rising competition. Taking cognisant of the challenges ahead, MATRADE has stepped up its trade promotion initiatives efforts such as Present uniquement sur le rouleau central, le symbole Expandable Wild represente un ticket de meilleur-casino-en-ligne.info . identifying pockets of opportunity in green field markets; intensifying the export promotion for the services sector; targeting new and emerging markets which are still expected to grow; and incentivising foreign buyers to visit and source from Malaysia.
