LAHORE: The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Wednesday unveiled National Economic Agenda 2010/30 that has been evolved in consultation with almost all the political parties in the country.
“Economic policies should be independent of political forces,” said the LCCI president Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry explaining the objective of developing the agenda.
Every government comes up with its own economic vision that is rolled back when new government assumes the office, he said. “Inconsistency in policies has hurt economic development.”
All the areas of economy have been discussed in detail in the economic agenda. It is suggested that the agriculture sector must now be upgraded into process and semi-process industry.
“The value addition for our agricultural produce should go beyond the dependence on cotton textile,” he said. Cooked and semi-cooked food should become the main engine of growth.
Providing security to the economic zones should be on top of state’s priorities.
