Islamabad: During a meeting with a delegation of the US-Pakistan Business Council on Tuesday, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan stated that the government wanted to create a nurturing environment for investors as well as the business community, as per news reports. It desired to change the trend of imposing heavy taxes to decrease the profits accrued by the said groups; thereby fostering profit-earning business activities instead.
The PM informed that the government was paying special attention to facilitating business activity and investment growth in the country – remarking that the business community would find the government both ‘receptive and responsive’ to its needs.
In response, the representatives of the various US businesses present at the meeting, along with US-Pakistan Business Council Chairman Dr Mahmood Khan, expressed their confidence in the intentions and abilities of the government.
