Gemstones: Government urged to facilitate sector
Chairman Pakistan Gemstone and Minerals Association urges government to pay more attention to the gemstone business.
Akbar said on Friday that the sector, if dealt with properly, could bring a financial revolution in the region.
He said in countries like Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore taxes were not imposed on the trade of gemstones, while free training to traders was provided.
