instability nor afford politics of agitation,violence,protest and confrontation at
this crucial juncture of time in the wake of Covid 19.
Talking to the traders delegations from different cities on Monday in connection
with on going election campaign of Federation of Pakistan Chamber of
Commerce and Industry veteran trade leader , Iftikhar Ali Malik, President SAARC
Chamber and Chairman United Business Group said that what we need is political
stability which is prerequisite for sustained economic growth to cope with the
multiple challenges in Pakistan.
Presidential candidate Khalid Tawab and candidate for Vice President from
Punjab seat Almas Hyder and other UBG leaders were also present on the
occasion.
He said time has changed as now the influential nations are paying more
attention to financial warfare to continue their dominance. These countries are
successfully using their weapons of economic destruction to weaken economics of
poor nations to achieve their unholy designs while Pakistan’s economy is not
strong enough to withstand economic terrorism.
Iftikhar Ali Malik said it is indeed important to increase our exports and for that
purpose we need to reduce our cost of doing business so that our products can
remain competitive in the world markets.
He further said trade facilitation is the key to promote industries and we need to
remove all the obstacles and create the culture of trade facilitation. “Our Country
has tremendous potential as we have enormous talent. What we need is the
consistency in the government policies and a clear roadmap to move forward,” he
added.
