Actionable agenda from PLC 2018
Innovation and access to capital Growth of businesses across all sectors is critical, be it large scale manufacturing or SMEs and startups – Innovation is the only way to stay relevant to local and global markets and customer expectations. Current financial market, access to bank credit and governance structure of family owned businesses require overhauling to expand the access to capital from seed capital to growth capital
Recommended Actions - Create awareness of central bank’s recent reforms to support SMEs, SECP’s private equity related initiatives and its implementation, expansion of retail base for participation in PSX, succession of family owned business and knowledge sharing forums including ‘Startup eco-system’ to support innovation.
Digital enablementPakistan has got the “Youth of Pakistan” as a key natural resource. With the right talent and technology, Pakistan is poised to access the global market for customers, products and services.Policies enabling digital economy, technology deployment and talent would be key drivers for social & financial inclusion, access to education & health care, economic participation of women and attracting local and foreign investment.
Recommended Actions – Propose 3 – 5 policy & legislative changes for implementation or development of Intellectual Property Rights, data protection regulations, e-commerce and free participation of private sector to enhance access to education and health care.
Tax and Foreign Exchange Regulation Reforms According to the Global Competitiveness Report 2017-18, taxation policy and tax collecting agency’s mindset, preceded by corruption, is the second biggest impediment to ease of doing business and global competitiveness rankings of Pakistan. In recent past, many tangible measures have been taken for curbing corruption but taxation system requires more trust-driven and transparent policy and its collection. Procedural reforms in foreign direct investment coming into Pakistan are necessary for global participation in Pakistan’s economy.
Recommended Actions – Propose 3- 5 key reforms, build advocacy and influence for implementation of critical changes in legislation and capability set
Key actions proposed at the PLC 2018 to be delivered through collaboration, advocacy and leadership of professionals, policy makers and businesses:
CPEC Pakistan’s business community should be more pro-active in identifying the opportunities offered by CPEC and the five other corridors envisioned under the Belt and Road Initiative and they independently or in collaboration with Chinese or other foreign investors start seizing these opportunities.
Recommended Actions – engagement of policy makers, academia and businesses to realign their priorities, strategies and public policies
