Kundi highlights KP's issues in SIFC, focusing on southern districts and the new Expo Center to boost trade and economic growth.
The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) has emerged as a crucial platform for addressing the economic challenges faced by various regions in Pakistan, particularly Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). This initiative aims to streamline investment processes and promote trade, thereby fostering economic growth. Recently, the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi, emphasized the importance of bringing the province's issues, especially those concerning the southern districts, to the forefront of discussions within the SIFC.
During a press conference on Wednesday, Kundi stated, "Efforts are underway to highlight the issues of the province, especially of southern districts in the Special Investment Facilitation Council regarding trade and business." This statement underscores the commitment of the provincial government to ensure that the unique challenges faced by KP are not overlooked in national economic discussions. The southern districts of KP have long been in need of focused attention, as they often lag behind in terms of development and investment opportunities.
In addition to advocating for the region's concerns, Kundi also pointed out that the Federal Government has allocated funds for the establishment of an Expo Center in Peshawar, managed by the Trade Development Authority. This Expo Center is expected to serve as a hub for trade exhibitions and business activities, providing a significant boost to local entrepreneurs and businesses. Kundi expressed optimism that the project would be completed soon, which could pave the way for increased economic activity in the region.
The establishment of the Expo Center is a step in the right direction, as it not only aims to enhance trade but also to create job opportunities for the local population. By facilitating a platform for businesses to showcase their products and services, the Expo Center could attract both local and foreign investors, thereby stimulating economic growth in KP.
The ongoing efforts to highlight KP's issues within the SIFC reflect a growing recognition of the province's potential. As the government works to address these challenges and promote investment, it is essential for all stakeholders to collaborate and support initiatives that aim to uplift the region. The future of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa hinges on these developments, and with continued focus and investment, the province can look forward to a more prosperous economic landscape.
