Karachi (22 January 2025)
Strong business, trade aur exports ke zariye mulki economic growth ko tezi dene ke liye, exporters, industrialists aur Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) ne hukoomat se demand kiya hai ke ek pro-business Strategic Textile Policy Framework (STPF) aur ek textile aur apparel policy banayi jaye. Is policy ke fauri nafaz aur implementation ke liye export sector ko priority di jaye.
Unka kehna tha ke policy mein sustainable, practical aur workable steps shamil hone chahiye, kyun ke pichli 2020-2025 policies ke bohot se points par amal nahin ho saka.
KCCI ke President Muhammad Javed Bilwani aur Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers Association (PHMA) ke Central Chairman Muhammad Babar Khan ne in policies ke behtari ki zarurat par zor diya, jo iss saal apni duration complete kar rahi hain.
KCCI mein ek meeting ke dauran unhon ne is baat ko highlight kiya ke un ambiguities ko door kiya jaye jo guzishta 5 saalon mein kayi masail ko solve karne mein rukawat ban rahi hain.
Unka yeh bhi kehna tha ke policies ko finalize karte waqt key stakeholders, jaise ke KCCI, PHMA aur mukhtalif export associations ke sath close consultation zaruri hai, taake ek comprehensive aur effective framework banaya ja sake.
Is moqe par Muhammad Babar Khan ne kaha ke European Union ko export barhane ke liye GSP status bohot aham hai. Iska continuation ensure karne ke liye hukoomat par zor dalne ki zarurat hai ke wo aisi policies banayein jo GSP status ke continuity ko possible banayein.
Ek private news channel se baat karte hue domestic textile aur malbosat ke mashhoor exporter, PHMA South Zone ke former Chairman aur FPCCI ke Pakistan-EU Business Forum ke member Abdul Rehman Fida ne kaha ke exporters ko bas ek competitive level playing field chahiye jo regional mulkon ke barabar ho. Is mein energy costs, simplified taxation policies, raw material aur export se related services par zero sales tax shamil hain.
