Minister for Industries, Commerce and Technical Education Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Adnan Jalil believed in restructuring capabilities and streamlining the public sector processes would ease doing business in the province.
He was speaking at the meeting of the National Network of Economic Thinktanks-Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chapter organized by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), said a press release on Tuesday.
He informed that restricting human resources in TEVTA has so far resulted in saving of Rs 2.6 million monthly. Financial and power constraints faced by the caretaker government would prevent delivery of relief to the business community, he added.
Dr Vaqar Ahmed, Joint Executive Director, SDPI said Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s southern cluster has immense untapped economic potential.
He said such deliberative sessions before the announcement of budget would help in articulating policy advice for the government to reflect on for strengthening trade and economic development.
Ahad Nazir, Head Center for Private Sector Engagement while sharing the preliminary findings of a survey conducted by SDPI in KP said difficulty in graduation for firms was observed which was hindering increasing in firms becoming exports.—APP
