PIAF chief for marking 2011 as 'power generation year'


STAFF REPORT LAHORE: The Pakistan Industrial and Trade Associations Front (PIAF) has urged the government to declare year 2011 as 'year of power generation' and initiate work on mega water projects.

PIAF Chairman, Sohail Lashari, in a statement on Friday, said former federal commerce minister had taken a wise step by coming up with a framework to give boost to exports, but his decision would only work if the business community was into confidence over the measures he has planned for the year.

He said that the business community has the capacity and the ability to jack up volume of exports to the staggering figure of $50 billion, provided they are given the required and desired opportunities and infrastructure.

Giving a roadmap for the revival of economy for year 2011, he urged the government to utilise all available resources and motivate all segments of the society for turning the economy around.
