April 5, 2019: Prime Minister Imran Khan says government would continue taking the business community on-board in policy formulation process.

Talking to leading businessmen in Islamabad, he said the government will extend maximum facilitation to the exporters and the businessmen of the country.

Earlier, presiding over a meeting of the Board of Administrators of Export Development Fund in Islamabad, the Prime Minister said economic future of the country is linked with enhancement of exports which so far have remained far below the actual potential.

He said the present government has made a paradigm shift in prioritizing the competitiveness of industry vis-à-vis revenue collection.

He directed that timely release of EDF, which is indeed the exporters’ money, be ensured during the current year while a comprehensive system be devised for the future to ensure unhindered releases and optimum utilization of EDF for its mandated purpose.
