The team was further apprised that the government is making efforts to reduce the trade deficit and imports, adding that new measures are being taken to boost the country’s exports.

Mr. Dawood apprised the IMF delegations that the government believes that measures taken by the government with respect to facilitating exporters, exports of the country will experience an upsurge in the coming years.
