Shanghai Trade Office

In reply to the Hon. I.K. HUNTER (13 November 2018).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment): I have been advised:

The Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment (DTTI) is monitoring the progress of the Shanghai trade office through KPIs which will measure the success of the initiative. There will be a monthly reporting process, six-month performance discussion and end of year assessment whereby the new Country Director for China, Ms Xiaoya Wei, will advise of the outcomes achieved against her KPIs to the Chief Executive, DTTI, through the Executive Director, International Engagement, DTTI. The key business development activities of the entire China team will also be reported in the same manner.

The KPIs for the country director and the Shanghai trade office will be directly linked to DTTI's KPI's.
