The Pakistan Business Council has been established in 2006 by fourteen of the country's leading Groups and companies, including Multinationals, that cover a diversity of business activity.
PBC is not a Trade body. It has been created as a forum for Pakistani business to address the challenges arising from progressive global and regional free trade, and from the relatively sluggish trends in current national Investment flows, against the much higher levels needed to sustain GDP growth at the target of 7% plus.
PBC’s work would consist of producing position papers for review by business and appropriate Government authority; holding Lectures and Seminars; and sponsoring Research. In time, PBC would expect to be able to broaden its membership and activities, to include Advisory and Consultative services both to Pakistani and
Foreign Investors.
