YEYI, CHIEF COUNTRY REPRESENTATIVE DONGFANG ELECTRIC CORPORATION PUNJAB BOARD OF INVESTMENT & TRADE 01 Message from the Chief Minister Punjab I would like to congratulate Punjab Board of Investment & Trade for making the effort to compile a publication on the achievements of the Punjab government over the past year and development initiatives being taken for the future. i take pride in the fact that this is a result of multiple agencies and departments of the government of Punjab which have collaborated with the Punjab Board of Investment & Trade. A welcome sign of increased communication and cooperation within the government. Punjab has been firmly put on a path of high economic growth and is moving up quickly on the ladder of progress. the energy crisis that our country is currently suffering from has been the major cause of concern for businesses. Considering that energy is the backbone of the economy, it has been given key priority by the Punjab government. much work has been done in the other sectors that also form the crux of the economy like transport, infrastructure and industrial development. today Punjab, being at the centre of economic activities is the epitome of the continuous efforts of its people and the government to reach high standards in education, medical facilities, roads and mega infrastructure of science and research. this publication highlights the efforts of the government of Punjab over the last year. It is evident that the Government of Punjab is striving towards increasing the prosperity of the people of the province. Even though the challenge is great, i strongly believe in our capability that we can accomplish what was not achieved earlier and continue to move steadily towards a brighter future for our people. MIAN SHAHBAZ SHARIF CHIEF MINISTER PUNJAB THE ROUTE TO PROSPERITY 02 MAGNIFICENT PUNJAB Message from the Chairman PBit has taken this initiative to document the milestones reached, the initiatives taken and the economic indicators of the Punjab government over the last one year. Punjab province along with the rest of Pakistan is facing multiple issues such as the energy crises, rising unemployment, security threats, increased regional competition for exports. the government’s focus over the last one year has been on accelerating domestic and foreign investment in the country, increasing development expenditure, export promotion, facilitating private sector investment, generating employment opportunities, restructuring of public sector corporations and expansion of social safety network and last but not the least, solving the energy issue on a war footing. in this connection numerous steps have been taken to address the various issues faced by the industry at this point such as easing material imports, increasing expenditure and developing international linkages to improve labor and manpower skills, negotiating increased market access for our products, establishing sEz’s to encourage the manufacturing sector, and ground breaking of new coal, hydel and solar power facilities to resolving the energy problem. most importantly, the government has made efforts to create a positive economic vibe which would lead to uniting all the stakeholders to come together on one platform and work for the collective betterment of the province. Creating this unified vision and a roadmap towards collective improvement would be invaluable for progress and for the encouragement of new ideas, incorporation of global trends and industry best practices. through this publication, we hope to highlight all of the above and more. in the end, i think it is imperative to point out that the results achieved today will help us pave the way for a better future of this industry and through that ‘a better future of Punjab’s economy’. We all have the same goal in mind; the key is to work together to fulfill that goal. in the end, i would like to thank the staff & the officers at Punjab Board of investment & trade for their tireless efforts in order to achieve the vision & goal of the Government.
