Committee formed on exporters’ concerns

The commerce ministry has formed a special committee to assess proposals from exp­o­rters amidst opposition parties’ rejection of the government’s proposed tax measures. Ahead of the passage of the Finance Bill 2024 in the parliament, Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan held a meeting on Monday to address concerns raised by the All Export Assoc­iation of Pakistan. The National Assembly will likely approve the finance bill in the next few days. The committee will present its recommendations to the finance minister. However, it is unclear if these recommendations will be submitted prior to or following the approval of the Finance Bill 2024.
