Expediting Trade Activities: Sialkot export zone should be made SEZ

Author: APP

SIALKOT: Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) President Majid Raza Bhutta suggested that the Sialkot Export Processing Zone (SEPZ) should be given the status of Special Economic Zone (SEZ) under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Talking to APP on Tuesday, he said that the conversion would enable the business community of the region to set up their individual industrial units in the new zone. Major export-oriented cities like Sialkot can be strong contenders for setting up SEZ; as 99% of the city’s manufactured products are exported to international markets, said Bhutta. He said that Chinese investors should be encouraged to bring their investment, and technology in Sialkot.
