UK promises ?more generous? market access for Pakistan post Brexit

KARACHI: Britain has promised Pakistan of more generous market access post Brexit than what it currently has under GSP Plus regime, a statement received here from London said on Thursday.The release said Greg Hands, the UK minister of state for trade policy, also assured Pervaiz Malik, the federal commerce minister, of working with Pakistan to promote it as a safe destination for British investment in a meeting. Malik is visiting London to represent Pakistan in the “Commonwealth Business Forum” which is an integral part of Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2018. Expressing gratitude for their support in securing GSP plus status with EU, the commerce minister urged British government for a closer trade relation post Brexit. The statement said the British minister also accepted Malik’s invitation to visit Pakistan down the line. Apart from this meeting, Commerce Minister attended “Asia Leaders Roundtable Conference” and “Fashion and Textile Event" under Commonwealth Business Forum. At both the events, the release said, Malik effectively projected Pakistan’s success on the economic front. He also highlighted the revolutionary changes the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor project (CPEC) was bringing about in the infrastructure and energy landscape of the country. Furthermore, Malik also met with Prince Andrew, Duke of York at St. James Palace on the eve of Pitch@Palace Commonwealth event. The statement said both the leaders acknowledged close relations between the two countries and agree to cement them further. The commerce minister, who was accompanied by Pakistan’s High Commissioner Ibne Abbas, also called on Rehman Chishti, Britain’s trade envoy for Pakistan. Britain, which would exit the European Union in less than a year, is scrambling to cut new trade deals. London is now betting on its erstwhile colonies to help fill up the trade vacuum its exit from the 28-member bloc would create. According to media reports, Tariq Ahmad, a UK minister, told a committee of British lawmakers last week that the summit provided a “huge opportunity” to advance deals while divorce negotiations with the EU drag on toward the exit deadline of March 2019. Analysts said Britain was in desperate need of export opportunities and Commonwealth countries could be good destinations to start with. The Commonwealth is vast — accounting for almost a third of the world’s population, 2.4 billion — and includes countries ranging in size from India, having a population of 1.26 billion, to 100,000-strong Tuvalu and it continues to expand as Gambia rejoined the group in February.

Earlier this month, some media reports claimed that Nisar is likely to join PTI soon, however, he denied such rumours.PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is trying to win over the former minister and has met him four times in the last few days.Commenting on expelling the MPAs who sold their votes in Senate elections, PTI chief said everyone knew what happened in elections but no party came forward to fight this menace and only PTI investigated the matter.

CM Murad blames PML-N for 'political agenda' against Sindh

KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah blamed the PML-N’s federal government unleashed a policy of crushing the province of Sindh by depriving its people of water, power and federal transfers and "this is a political agenda." This he said while addressing a crowded press conference here at his Sindh Assembly Chamber on Thursday. He said that the federal government of PML-N is penalising people of Sindh on three serious issues - prolonged load-shedding, water shortage during Rabi and short release of federal transfers (funds) – due to which not only day-to-day life has been affected badly but agro-industrial economy is crippling in the province. Talking about prolonged load-shedding, the chief minister said that he has written two letters to the prime minister and talked to him on telephone for at least six times to draw his attention towards the SSGC-KElectric dispute. It has turned into over 12-hour prolonged load-shedding in the city due to which the businessmen are being forced to shut down their industrial units. Murad Ali Shah said that the prime minister told him that he had called both the entities, SSGC and KE. But instead of listening and directing both the parties personally, he deputed Miftah Ismail to settle the dispute. However, when he called Miftah on his cell phone he was out of the country. The chief minister said the SSGC claims that its dues of Rs 29 billion against KE were outstanding for a long period. Therefore, it [SSGC] has reduced gas supply to KE from 276 mmcfd to 90 mmcfd, due to which four gas-based power plants of KE stopped generating electricity causing more than 12 hours load shedding. The CM Sindh said that when the SSGC claim of Rs29 billion outstanding dues was audited it turned to be Rs13 billion principal amount while the remaining amount was due to late payment and interest. He added that the KE was ready to pay the original amount in instalments along with full current payment of the gas. Now, the court has also directed the SSGC to supply 276 mmcfd gas to KE. The chief minister said to the federal government: "This is your dispute as the federal government has 73 percent share in SSGC and 24 percent share in KE, so you get it settled, why you are penalising people of Karachi". Murad Shah said that power outage also affects water supply in Karachi because pumping stations get tripped. Talking about load shedding in rural areas of the province, the chief minister said that in average 16 hour prolonged load shedding is resorted in Shaheed Benazirabad, 14 hours in Sukkur, 12 hours in Mirpurkhas, 16 hours in Larkana, 14 hours in Hyderabad, 18 hours in his hometown Distt Jamshoro. "This shows how much severe the vendetta of the federal government is against the people of Sindh, because since 1970s they have been voting PPP to power," he said. Talking about federal transfers, the chief minister said that so far the federal government has given Rs94 billion short. "This has caused serious problems with the financial health of the provincial government," he said and added this was why he has curtailed development expenditure "because we can't curtail salary expenditures," he said.Murad Ali Shah said that it was the inefficiency of the federal government that it could not achieve its tax recovery targets. As far as the Sindh government is concerned its collections are close to the targets. The SRB, Excise & Taxation would achieve their recovery target, he vowed. The chief minister said that some people against load shedding and water shortage are planning to stage sit in at CM House. "You have every right to protest against non-provision of utility services but "I would invite all political parties to come together and stage sit-in outside the PM House and I'll be with you," he said. Talking about water shortages, he said that during Rabi Session the IRSA had conveyed that there would be 20 percent water shortages but the shortages reached to 36 percent. "I don't know the water shortage was natural or it was theft," he questioned.
