BATON ROUGE - The Louisiana Board of International Commerce (LaBIC) released a new Comprehensive Development Plan that establishes a detailed blueprint for sustaining the recent rapid growth of foreign trade and business investment in the state.
LaBIC was created legislatively in 2012 to advance the state’s international commerce initiatives and enhance the state’s trade-based economy in collaboration with the Louisiana Economic Development Office of International Commerce (OIC).
In 2013, LaBIC completed its first 10-year roadmap.
The report highlights a number of global economic trends that play to Louisiana’s strengths, including the decarbonization of global energy markets; increasing dominance of U.S. LNG exporters; growing number of process industries making major investments among other things.
