INDUSTRIAL SECTOR PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS Presentation
• For revival and growth of industrial sector, the controversial issues have
to be solved once for all. Unless the danger of nationalization of
industries is removed and the lost confidence is restored, the progress in
the industrial field will remain slow.
PROVISION OF INDUSTRIAL
FINANCE
• Establishing a well-organized capital and money market in the country
can solve the problem of lack of capital for the industrial sector. The
Government of Pakistan established Pakistan Industrial Credit and
Investment corporation (PICIC) in 1957 to provide loans to the private
sector.
• Moreover, an Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan (IDBP) was
established in 1961. Recently, Investment Corporation of Pakistan (ICP),
National Development Finance Corporation (NDFC) Equity
Participation Fund (EPF) and Bankers Equity Limited (BEL) are also
helping in the industrial development.
PROVISION OF
INFRASTRUCTURE
• Taxes of various types increases the production cost and in many cases
discourages production. Tax holidays may be give to infant industries
and those established in undeveloped areas.
TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND
TRAINING
• To improve the productivity in the industrial sector, it is essential to
establish technical training institutions to give training to the laborers.
The government made necessary arrangements and helped in the
establishment of Pakistan Industrial Technical Assistant Centre (PITAC),
other vocational and commercial institutions including Pak-German and
Pak-Swedish Institutes of Technology.
• This is going to provide technical assistance to industrialists, to helping
the dissemination of modern knowledge and improved techniques
among artisans and craftsmen.
