It is the need of the hour for Pakistan to pursue a ‘Make in Pakistan’ policy and rapid industrialization for substituting the imports and enhancing our exports’.

This was said by Advisor to the Prime Minister, Abdul Razak Dawood, in a meeting with a delegation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry at the Ministry of Commerce last week.

The readymade garment industry is one of the more important small-scale industries in Pakistan with a large demand for its products both at home and abroad.
