LCCI seeks post-virus plan

LAHORE: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry has urged the government to have a thought-provoking planning for post-corona economic scenario, a statement said on Wednesday.

LCCI President Irfan Iqbal Sheikh, Senior Vice President Ali Hussam Asghar and Vice President Mian Zahid Jawaid said that post-corona era would be challenging, but the opportunities at vast would also be available for the economy of Pakistan. Pakistan can give a quantum jump to its export once the circumstances came to normal, if the private sector keeps close contacts in Central Asian States, Africa and South America and the government support export-oriented industry through resolving their issues so that it can grab the opportunities in true sense of the word.

“Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Chile do not require introduction in Pakistan, if discussed under the subjects of trade, geography, culture and ethnicity, etc, but in economic scenario, they carry a very inadequate eminence among us,” they added.
