Senior Vice Chairman Usman Ashraf welcomed the visit of Soneri Bank Chief Executive Officer/Chairman Muhtashim Ahmed Ashai and informed him about the difficulties faced by the exporters in banking matters.
He said that sometimes new rules are implemented without giving timely information to the exporters and due to which many problems arise.
“A system should be devised for timely notification of the application of new laws so that exporters and importers can prepare in advance,” he added.
He said that two seminars were organized earlier in collaboration with the Association and Soneri Bank for awareness of laws and solving problems and it is hoped that this series of seminars will continue in the future.
