I.
Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LNCCI) established in 1989 is an
independent body which represents the business community in Lao PDR. It is the nexus
between state and private enterprises and represents employers, groups and joint ventures
across all agencies that have been established under the laws of Lao PDR. It currently has
more than 1000 members represented through Chambers of Commerce in 13 provinces and
business associations and groups. That makes LNCCI the largest and most representative
business community in Lao PDR.
As the nexus between the state and private enterprises, LNCCI’s responsibility is to identify
problems and concerns of its members and make sure that they are presented to the
government. In this way, business policies and legislation are developed and adjusted for the
improvement of business environment in Lao PDR.
LNCCI represents the business community of Lao PDR undertaking business negotiations
and dealing with trade and labor issues at both regional and international levels with a view to
expanding trade and investment
In addition, LNCCI works to strengthen Provincial CCIs, Vientiane CCI, Business
Associations and Groups by upgrading services and management. As national economic
development requires a pool of knowledge and skills, LNCCI seeks to build capacity through
seminars, business meetings, and exhibitions where views can be exchanged and experiences
and skills shared.
The Chamber also seeks approaches to address the need of Lao businesses and facilitate the
businesses to operate in a friendly business environment.
For more information about the role, responsibilities and function of LNCCI please see

II.
European Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Lao PDR
The European Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Lao PDR (ECCIL) has been founded on May
9th, 2011 in order to give a voice to European businesses operating in Lao and in order to render
services to companies. In doing so, it contributes actively to the economic development of the
country. ECCIL is unique from a European point of view in a way that it is the only representation of
European enterprises in Laos since there are no bilateral chambers from European countries in the
PDR. From a Lao point of view it is also unique in a way that on one hand it does not just represent
businesses from one particular country but from a large and sometimes diverse group of countries;
different from other foreign chambers in Laos, ECCIL has its own full time personnel and is therefore
in a position to offer a full range of services.
Structure and members
ECCIL is controlled by an executive committee which consists of 11 business people. It is led by
a president and two vice presidents which serve on annual terms. The board itself is elected by the
General Assembly, the highest authority in the chamber, which regularly convenes once a year.
The operations of ECCIL are led by an executive director who is answerable to the executive
committee.
As of September 2016 ECCIL counts over 110 members from a variety of industries and with
operations inside and outside of Lao PDR.
Strategic priorities
ECCIL has two strategic priorities: Promotion of the interests of its members (advocacy) and giving valuable service to companies.
Fields of activity
Regarding advocacy ECCIL takes up issues from its members but also analyses legal regulations,
observes practices of the authorities and does impact assessments of proposed laws and decrees.
In appropriate cases ECCIL writes position papers, collects relevant data and shares its views and
findings with the government and the Lao business communities. It advocates for its members by
discussing relevant issues with the concerned ministries. In addition to that, ECCIL is actively
involved in the Lao Business Forum (LBF) and takes care of its private sector working group on cross
cutting issues. Involvement in the public private dialogue on provincial level is in progress.
Regarding services ECCIL is basically open for everyone, there is just a difference in the fees that
apply for members and non-members and in the level of information access.
ECCIL collects and interprets a variety of up-to-date economic data, publishes investment guides,
collects laws and decrees which are relevant for the economic development and compares the Lao
situation with the situation in other countries.

Other services include the reception of delegations, business matching, support of company
founders, applied economic research etc., but also conducting of networking events, job fairs,
food festival among the business communities but also with government representatives, donors
and others.
Cooperation with the Lao business community
ECCIL cooperates very closely with the Lao National Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(LNCCI) and its affiliates. There is not only a regular exchange of information but also a
successful mutual support in fields of common interest. There are joint projects like the
organization of delegation visits. Future common activities are very likely to include the
publication of a business climate index and the joint organization of the ASEAN Business
Advisory Council Conference, ASEAN-EU Business Summit; and supporting the organization of
ASEAN Business & Investment Summit in 2016.
