Trading Across Borders

There is a clear understanding in the government and trade environment of Pakistan, that international trade helps promote social and economic development. The Government of Pakistan (GOP) recognizes that the government organizations controlling and administering the movement of goods and the people, must adopt and apply modern, simplified, transparent, and secure clearance procedures. In recent years, the GOP has taken several initiatives by way of institutional reforms and new/amended legislation, to bolster business and trade. These initiatives demonstrate that the Government of Pakistan is committed to becoming a responsible partner and safe supplier in the global supply chain.
The Government of Pakistan and the people involved in trade and business also understand the need and the great potential of increased participation by women in the economy of the country. It will be challenging to create opportunities for women to assume a greater role in the economic life of Pakistan. These opportunities must be developed in the business environment, as well as at all decision-making levels in the government.
