The Pakistan Business Council (PBC) hosted Federal Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb for a meeting with its leadership to present a private-sector-led export growth agenda aimed at strengthening Pakistan\u2019s competitiveness and accelerating foreign exchange earnings.
\nFinance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb welcomed the engagement, saying the visit marked the start of consultations for next year’s budget. “This visit to the PBC is a discussion invitation for starting the medium-term tax and budget policy,” he said.
\nThe PBC delegation led by Chairperson Dr Zeelaf Munir and CEO Javed Kureishi, presented sector-specific proposals covering textiles, processed food and FMCG, pharmaceuticals, IT and ICT, mobile phone manufacturing, rubber products and other export-oriented industries
\nDuring the meeting, the PBC shared a time-bound export acceleration plan under which the private sector could help generate an estimated $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion in incremental exports over 12 months, with $450 million to $700 million realizable during July\u2013December 2026, subject to timely government action on key policy enablers.
\nAs part of the discussion, Dr Zeelaf Munir presented \u201cBuilding Brand Pakistan: Unlocking Processed Food Export Potential,\u201d which highlighted how Pakistan can move from commodity-led exports to higher-value, brand-led exports. Dr. Zeelaf added, Pakistan must now build a broader export model based on value, trust and competitiveness. \u201cBrand Pakistan is not limited to one sector; it is a national export strategy. With policy stability, institutional support and public-private partnership, Pakistan can move from exporting volume to exporting value,\u201d she said.
\nJaved Kureishi, CEO of the PBC, said, \u201cPBC believes in export-led growth and is ready to support the government in developing practical, private-sector-driven solutions that can help Pakistan build scale in global markets.\u201d
\nThe wider proposals focused on policy stability, market access, cost competitiveness, regulatory facilitation and export financing to help Pakistani businesses move from low-value trade to higher-value exports.
\nThe PBC delegation included senior members and business leaders representing a cross-section of key sectors of the economy, including Musadiq Zulqarnain, Yaqoob Ahmed, Muzaffar Piracha, Abrar Hasan, Khalid Mehmood, Asif Peer, Omar Saeed, Rizwan Diwan, Bashir Ali Mohammad, Muhammad Faisal and Syed Haider Ali.
\nThe Finance Minister welcomed the PBC\u2019s proactive approach and its commitment to working with the government on export-led growth. Both sides agreed on the importance of a time-bound action plan to address structural barriers, unlock sectoral export potential and help Pakistani businesses compete more effectively in global markets.<\/p>\n
