“Made in Pakistan” campaign can strengthen economy, promote self-reliance:Shahid Imran
LAHORE, Jul 05 (APP):Convener of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Regional Committee on Food, Shahid Imran, on Sunday said the “Made in Pakistan” campaign had emerged as a turning point in promoting locally manufactured products and strengthening the national economy by reducing dependence on imported brands.
Speaking to a delegation of industrialists, he said every purchase of a locally made product directly contributed to employment generation, industrial growth and economic stability.
He said a vibrant domestic manufacturing sector could significantly reduce the country’s import bill, conserve valuable foreign exchange reserves and improve the trade balance.
Shahid Imran said consumers could play a vital role in promoting self-reliance and sustainable economic development by choosing quality Pakistani brands.
He said Pakistan possessed immense potential in textiles, sports goods, surgical instruments, leather products, engineering goods, processed food and information technology, all of which could compete successfully in international markets if provided adequate policy support and investment.
Expressing optimism, he said a strong national commitment to supporting indigenous brands would accelerate industrialization, create thousands of new employment opportunities, boost exports and pave the way for a resilient, self-sustaining and prosperous economy.
