“The high cost is hitting production and exports, therefore, the government should immediately cut electricity and gas tariffs to stabilise the economy,” said FPCCI President Zubair Tufail.
A prompt decision on rationalising energy prices would help enhance international competitiveness of Pakistan’s products, he said in a statement. The government should spare some resources and take immediate decision to control the decline in exports, which had created many problems for the country, he added.
