Trade deals eroding market access

ISLAMABAD: An increase in preferential trade arrangements and free trade areas between some members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is eroding market access, said Ambassador-designate to the permanent mission of Pakistan at the WTO Mujtaba Paracha.

Speaking at the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), he stressed that Pakistan’s private sector should adopt a proactive approach in order to search for new markets and improve exports. He assured businessmen that he would play due role in promoting Pakistan’s exports across the world.

He pointed out that the current government was sending trade and investment officers to Pakistan’s foreign missions abroad with an aim of promoting exports.
