KARACHI: Acting President Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Khawaja Shahzeb Akram has proposed a non-political, inclusive, sustainable and legally-binding ‘Charter of Economy’ to forge an across the board contract and unflinching commitment towards economic growth, development and equality.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Mr Akram said the aforementioned charter should encompass all sectors of the economy and all segments of the society.
The draft of the Charter of Economy, prepared by the FPCCI, is aimed at protecting the economy from any political or policymaking unpredictability and ensuring the provision of a business and economic environment where all investors, entrepreneurs, businessmen, traders and industrialists should feel confident and motivated to plan their businesses for the long-term, he said.
He urged all political parties, whether in the government or opposition, to single-mindedly support the apex chamber’s Charter of Economy in the supreme national interest and to save the economy of Pakistan from the ever-yawning existential challenges.
