ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain on Tuesday said that the process of tax refunds to small industries should be expedited and they should be provided all necessary facilities to further strengthen the country’s economy.

The president was talking to a delegation of Pakistan Electric Fan Manufacturers’ Association which called on him at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad. The delegation was headed by its chairman Nabeel Ahmed Ilyas.

The president appreciated that the Pakistani fan industry was manufacturing energy efficient fans which were of great significance in the context of the current energy crisis.

“There is a need to enhance coordination between the fan industry and relevant ministries to further promote this trend so that issues of the industry could be resolved. Small industrialists can manufacture better products through proper usage of government concessions and exemptions,” he said.

He directed the Ministry of Industry and Production to take prompt measures to solve the problems of fan industry adding that in this regard cooperation of Ministry of Finance should also be sought.
