\nThe unending power struggle among the economic managers serving on important assignments is reflecting badly on the overall situation and it is adding to the worries of the business community, a business leader said Friday.
\nPeople with a clear and wider vision and the ability to resolve the pressing economic challenges without engaging in time-wasting activities should be assigned important tasks, he said.
\nThe FBR will see forth chief in eighteen months but he may not be able to deliver in absence of a clear policy, said Shahid Rasheed Butt former President ICCI.
\nHe said that inflation, unemployment and contracting economy have become major concerns while the IMF\u2019s prescriptions have failed to resolve problems.
\nShahid Rasheed Butt noted that people Pakistan lacks a tendency for savings that is imperative for national development. Now the economic hardships have made it impractical, therefore, foreign investment should be encouraged.
\nHe said that the foreign investors should be encouraged so that they can boost investments in Pakistan. The recently withdrawn incentives and exemptions must be revisited while their pending refunds of Rs80 billion should be paid without delay.
\nThe business leader said that foreign investors are uneasy over lack of coordination between centre and provinces, the delayed process of dispute resolution, hiccups in the repatriation of profits and weak enforcement of contracts which should be improved without further delay.
\nHe said that political instability, 30 percent devaluation, runaway inflation, 13.25 percent interest rates, and energy prices have also become serious problem for the foreign investors and their cost of doing business in increasing continuously which should be noticed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
