Addressing a meeting of All Pakistan Bed-sheets & Upholstery Manufacturers Association (APBUMA), he said the economy had been stabilized and now a new target for exports would be fixed after Eidul Azha during a meeting of stakeholders with Prime Minister Imran Khan.
He said the government was already providing facilities to the SME sector. He said that most of the raw material consumed by the SME sector had been zero-rated. The remaining taxes and duties would also be withdrawn so that the SME sector could fully exploit its potential and give a quantum jump to national exports, he said.
