Islamabad : Industries and Manufacturing Minister Rana Tanveer Hussain said that the government is taking steps to facilitate the business community and the common man.
The minister said this while talking to a delegation of Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) led by its president Atif Ikram Sheikh.
He said the government was establishing special economic zones for investment, stressing that economic development could only be achieved by increasing exports.
The government is trying to solve the problems faced by the industry, he added.
The FPCCI president said that energy prices will have to be at the level of regional countries.
To get rid of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and increase domestic exports, we must move towards industrialization.
If the government provides relief in electricity tariff, the business community can achieve the export target of $60 billion, said Atif Ikram Sheikh.
