Budget proposals: PIAF to take all associations on board

PIAF has evolved two-pronged strategy to prepare proposals for the upcoming budget, said Javaid.

LAHORE: The Pakistan Industrial and Traders Associations Front (PIAF) has decided to take all trade and industry associations on board for the preparation of budget proposals. The decision in this regard was taken at a meeting headed by PIAF Chairman Malik Tahir Javaid and attended by representatives of a number of trade and industry leaders. The PIAF chairman said that an effort would be made to give the government a set of suggestions that would help turn the upcoming budget business friendly. Javaid said that the business community understands that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was utilising his best abilities to overcome the economic challenges but, at the same, the private sector considers itself duty-bound to tell the government of hitches. He said that the PIAF has evolved two-pronged strategy to prepare proposals for the upcoming budget.
