Monday, July 12 2021
Over the past two decades Pakistan’s economy has been growing slowly. According to the World Bank’s Group Doing Business 2020 study, the enactment of regulatory reforms has landed Pakistan among the world’s top 10 business climate improvers. The reforms significantly helped the country improve its ranking. Accreditations and Academic Quality Improvement Cell (AAQIC) in collaboration with Dr. Hasan Murad School of Management (HEC) arranged a webinar on the ease of doing business and investment climate issues in Pakistan. The distinguished speaker for the webinar was Mr. Haroon Sharif, Former Minister of State and Chairman, Pakistan Board of Investment. The talk was moderated by Mr. Moiz ur Rehman from Business Recorder.

The webinar was further followed by a Q&A session, where he shared about areas and opportunities for investment and economic development. The participants found the session informative and got heartily inspired by Mr. Sharif’s thoughts and insights.
