Pakistan Proposes Tariff Increases For Yarn Exports

　　巴基斯坦政府提議對紗線出口征收15％的調(diào)節(jié)稅，但是巴基斯坦增值紡織企業(yè)對政府的建議標識不滿，他們說，應(yīng)該征收30％的調(diào)節(jié)稅。

Bilal Mulla, former president of the Pakistan garment and garment manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA), called for a 30% regulatory tax on yarn exports for 6 months.

"Tariff collection is a step in the right direction, but it is still not enough to ensure the proper supply of cotton yarn in the domestic market," he said.

The government should have made this decision earlier because the spinning department sacrificed costs to create profits for the country.

He added that the value-added sector provides employment opportunities for all 18 million classes of labor force, while earning a large amount of foreign exchange, while other industries are unable to create such a huge opportunity for employment.

He said that the government restricted the export of yarn by only $2 / kg, but on the other hand, the value added of the textile industry was $12 / kg.
