Islamabad, May 10, 2024 – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has directed government officials to develop a new trade policy aimed at enhancing exports and fostering a business-friendly environment. This directive was given during a high-level meeting on trade, chaired by the Prime Minister on Friday. Prime Minister Shehbaz stressed the importance of improving the competitiveness of Pakistan’s exports. He outlined several directives, including the promotion of non-traditional goods for export and ensuring timely payment of certified duty drawbacks to exporters to enhance liquidity and reduce operational challenges.

Emphasizing the critical role of the private sector in economic growth, the Prime Minister urged the inclusion of business leaders in the policymaking process. He also called for the implementation of the deletion policy in the automotive sector to reduce reliance on imported components and support local industry. Additionally, Prime Minister Shehbaz announced plans to enhance accountability and performance in Pakistan’s trade and investment sectors. He ordered a comprehensive review of trade officers in Pakistani missions abroad, advocating for a policy of rewarding high performers and removing those who do not meet required standards. He also committed to personally conducting fortnightly reviews of the export sectors to ensure continuous improvement.
