اپٹما کا مسابقتی کاروباری ماحول کی بحالی کا مطالبہ

The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has urged the government to restore a competitive business environment, citing high energy tariffs and taxation as barriers to export growth. Patron-in-Chief Dr. Gohar Ejaz stated that the sector, contributing over 60% of Pakistan's exports, could raise exports by more than USD 10 billion within a year if given a conducive environment. Current electricity costs are 11 cents/kWh in Pakistan versus 6 cents in neighbouring countries, hindering competitiveness. Such a significant boost in exports could strengthen Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves, potentially leading to a more stable or stronger PKR, which would impact local gold prices.
