FAISALABAD:


The Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) has asked the government to take into confidence all stakeholders while finalising policies on national economic issues.


“It is the dire need that the government speed up the process of consultation with the private sector while framing economic policies,” said FCCI President Zahid Aslam in a statement on Monday.

He said the business community was the largest stakeholder in the economy in terms of revenue generation, foreign exchange earnings and employment provider.

He said almost all macroeconomic indicators were deteriorating and the business community was uncertain about their businesses. “Energy crisis, high cost of doing business and uncontrollable law and order situation are discouraging further investment – the only catalyst for economic growth.”
