Traders seek business-friendly measures in budget

Industrialists, traders and agricultural experts have urged the government to adopt business-friendly policies and provide immediate relief to the industry, trade and agriculture sectors to tackle economic challenges and ensure sustainable growth. The demand was made at a pre-budget seminar organised by the Traders Wing of the Pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML), where participants stressed that manufacturing growth, agricultural development and youth employment were essential for achieving long-term economic stability and prosperity. Addressing the seminar, Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) President Faheemur Rehman Sehgal said Pakistan possessed immense economic potential and abundant natural resources but required effective leadership and sound policymaking to realise meaningful progress.
