Bureau of Trading Associations

Competition in all things is healthy, but trade requires some co-operation between rival merchants to truly prosper.

A trading association establishes a support framework for merchants to protect all members through regulations. Where two separate businesses may rely on an exchange of goods, they can come to an agreement to provide items at a discount in the interest of good relations and long-term, mutual profit.

Such arrangements, having more organised and transparent working practices, are more acceptable to the government, reducing their need to interfere.
