Aslam Iqbal inaugurated the 2-day Pakistan Property Expo 2019

Lahore : Provincial Minister for Trade and Industry Mian Aslam Iqbal inaugurated the 2-day Pakistan Property Expo 2019 and Gwadar Investment Conference at a local hotel on Tuesday.

After the inauguration, he inspected various stalls. While addressing the inaugural ceremony, Aslam Iqbal said that PTI government has inherited a sagging economy as the national economy was ruined due to the wrong policies of the previous rulers which also compounded the problems of the people by increasing joblessness, poverty and price-hike. In fact, the devastated economy is the result of wrong policies of the previous rulers. It is sanguine that PTI government has adopted solid steps to help improve the economy while the Punjab government has laid the foundation of an industrial revolution by introducing the vibrant industrial policy.

He reiterated that the government will take every possible step to boost the industrial sector and disclosed that three schemes will be introduced within the next few days to promote small and medium enterprise. He said that industrialists are being given facilities under one roof and restoration of cottage industry has been planned by the government as well. During the next three years, the cottage industry will be rehabilitated in a phased manner.

Aslam Iqbal said that drafting of Punjab Smart Regulations Act is in progress which would ease the industrial process as outdated and unwanted laws will be done away with. He said that Naya Pakistan Housing Project has been started by the PTI government to provide five million houses to the shelter-less people.

The real estate business is the linchpin of the national economy and this project will help boost the elite industry in the country. It is satisfying that investors are coming to Pakistan due to the vibrant policies of the government and this would help boost the process of national development, he said.

Various speakers also addressed the function.
