The International Trade Centre (ITC) will implement the revenue mobilisation, investment and trade (REMIT) programme. The five-million-pound sterling project will run from 2020 to 2024.

These efforts are part of a larger UK-supported REMIT programme aimed at contributing to sustainable and inclusive economic development in Pakistan.

Speaking on the occasion, British High Commissioner to Pakistan Dr Christian Turner said, “Exports of goods and services worth $3.2 billion are at an impressive record high with the UK remaining one of the biggest export markets for Pakistan.”

“The new programme will enable trade reforms and create more opportunities for Pakistani businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, to compete in international markets,” he added. ITC Executive Director Pamela Coke-Hamilton stated, “REMIT will focus on creating conducive environment for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage in trade.”

“It can help diversify the economy and capture additional export opportunities for the country post-Covid,” Hamilton said. Shedding light on the objective of ITC, she said that the centre was committed to strengthening Pakistan’s approach to trade and stimulating international trade competitiveness.

“This will make it easier for Pakistani businesses to trade internationally and support job creation in export-oriented sectors,” she added.
