Consultant to Chief Minister Punjab on Economic Affairs and Vice Chairman Punjab Board of Investment and Trade (PBIT), Pir Saad Ahsanuddin has called on Karachi's leading entrepreneurs and business heads to formalise a investment plan for business in Punjab.
The plan was discussed with businesspeople from Karachi stock market, presidents of multinational private sector organisations, heads of business forums and leading trade related personalities in Karachi, said a hand out issued here Thursday.
Ahsanuddin said inward investment is one of the cornerstones of PBIT, because it brings with it its own network of foreign investments as well as creates opportunities for business to diversify by combining the competitive advantages of various regions.
He highlighted that Punjab offers Karachi investors vast sectoral opportunities in agro-food processing, dairy processing, textiles, and also augments the export capacity of Punjab's productivity. The participants discussed ways to convert Lahore into a hub of financial activity to assist in networking Pakistan through strong financial links between Punjab and Sindh.-PR
