KARACHI: Pakistani Ministry of Commerce Federal’s Secretary Mohammad Younus Dagha said that for the first time a five years strategic trade policy framework (2018-23), with an annual growth target of 10 per cent in exports is being worked on.

The trade policy is going to be announced in July this year but a draft proposal will be presented in March before the stakeholders for consultation.

Breaking away from the long-held three-year policy rule, a need for a long-term policy framework was felt in order give sufficient space to new investments which fall in line with capacity building of exports, Dagha pointed out.
