The All Pakistan Business Forum (APBF) has asked the government to take concrete steps to keep industrial wheels running, especially of SMEs, saving the livelihood of millions of workers associated with the small industries.
APBF President Syed Maaz Mahmood on Monday said that with a view to save the economy from the impacts of the slowdown due to COVID-19, the government should announce special incentives for a cash-strapped small and medium industry which represents more than 90 percent of around 3.2 million business enterprises in Pakistan, contributing 40 percent to the GDP, employing more than 80 percent of non-agricultural workforce, and generating 25 percent of export earnings.
