MFN should not damage local industry to boost Indian economy

Business community worried over New Delhi's history of broken promises

Indian cooperation should not remain confined to statements only

 

 

Islamabad: [Nov 17]

 

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Thursday said MNF status to India should benefit both countries. It should not damage Pakistan's industrial sector to boost Indian economy and influence.

 

All stakeholders including network of 50 chambers and 128 associations affiliated with the FPCCI should be involved before including more items in the positive list to save domestic industry, it said.

 

Pakistan has taken a positive step by granting MFN status to India and now she should not remain highest uncertain destination for Pakistani exporters and importers, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

 

Failure of India to reciprocate properly will keep region world's poorest performer in terms of intra-regional trade, he said.

 

Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that those who see trade liberalisation as a suicidal move are worried of New Delhi's history of broken promises like plebiscite in Kashmir and water-sharing treaty which is damaging the whole country.

 

India should stop supporting insurgency in Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Fata, resolve issues of Siachen and Sir Creek, and stop and using other countries against Pakistan at international forums, he demanded.

 

He said that India should stop using Afghan soil against Pakistan, lift all barriers, review period of visa validity, scope of travel and reporting arrival which are obstacles in realising true trade potential.

 

Indian cooperation should not remain confined to statements only as Pakistan is offering relatively more liberal policy, he said.

 

He said that Indian share in Afghan and Central Asian markets can get a boost with Pakistan's cooperation. Islamabad can help India achieve mark of 500 billion dollar of exports by 2015.

MFN: India shouldn't remain highest uncertain destination for Pak businessmen

Neighbours world's poorest performer in intra-regional trade

Trade only recipe for mutual growth, poverty reduction

 

Islamabad: [Nov 15]

 

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Tuesday said after getting MFN status, India should no more remain highest uncertain destination for Pakistani businessmen.

 

New Delhi needs to alter perception and lift trade barriers otherwise all efforts to ensure peace and prosperity through enhanced trade will remain counterproductive, it said.

 

Trade below 3 billion US dollars have made both neighbours world's poorest performers in terms of intra-regional trade, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.

 

Pakistani exporters who are weary of the high cost of uncertainty, quantitatively ranked highest in the world, should plan to compete Indians in their home market, he said.

 

India should allow movement of goods beyond border while ensuring fast disposal of merchandise, he said.

 

Indian authorities are still rejecting majority of visa applications. Recently a group of businessmen women were denied entry; in 2010, 350 businessmen applied for visa through ICCI but only 32 visas were granted, he informed adding that experience of other business chambers is not different.

 

Businessmen say that period of visa validity, narrow scope of travel and reporting arrival are obstacles in realising true trade potential, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal. The two countries should explore possibility of moving from sticker scheme to an electronic business travel card, he added.

 

Customs organizations of both countries can exchange data so that export document of one country may serve as the import document of the other country, he suggested.

 

Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that India and Pakistan should take steps to ensure non-reversal of the liberalized bilateral trading environment while Islamabad should address the issues of keeping the existing infrastructure underutilized.

 

Hawks in New Delhi, who are against constructive engagement with Islamabad should realise that Indian share in Afghan market may not surpass 7 per cent without Pakistan's help, Dr. Mughal observed.

 

Similarly, Indian exports to Central Asian will remain costly unless moved through Pakistan, he said adding that gas and goods transit fees can help Pakistan generate 6-8 billion dollars.

 

India is already in process of negotiating trade deals with the US, EU, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Japan while her exports will surpass $300 billion in the current fiscal. India's trade with Beijing stands at USD 60 billion per annum. Pakistan can help her achieve mark of 500 billion dollar of exports by 2015.
