Be Pakistani, buy Pakistani

The president should also consider this fact that the products manufactured in Pakistan are often of lower quality

KARACHI: When it comes to our daily life, consumer products play an essential role. We use various types of products to satisfy our needs and wants. These products are one among the many that keep the economic activity in a country running. Pakistan’s economy remained in a not-so-positive condition throughout the year, and earned a negative ranking among the global economies. Recently, President Dr Arif Alvi raised a point of supporting our country by buying locally-produced products rather than buying the foreign ones, in order to support our own economy. The president should also consider this fact that the products manufactured in Pakistan are often of substandard quality. This is one reason for consumers preferring foreign products to local ones. Supporting our country is great, but the government should also do more to ensure a set standard for products manufactured here.
