ISLAMABAD:
A project to develop Pakistan’s first trade portal is near completion that would integrate end-to-end domestic and international trade of the country on a single electronic platform.
The basic objective of this electronic single window was to assimilate all the crucial elements of supply chain like transport, terminals, shipping, banks, legal firms, brokers and traders available through the internet and mobile, thus capitalising on the telecommunication boom in the country.
Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications (MoIT) initiated the Mobile and Electronic Trade for Pakistan (MEETPK) project at a cost of Rs38.2 million in collaboration with UTrade Limited, Islamabad. Official sources said the portal would also help reduce the cost of doing business by facilitating businessmen. At the same time, it will provide online services suitable for trade.
