Federal Investment Minister Qaiser Sheikh calls for business inclusion in policy
Federal Minister for Board of Investment Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh visited the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday to discuss investment facilitation.

Commitment to close cooperation with chamber
The minister stated that the government would work closely with the chamber to promote investment and accelerate industrial growth. He emphasized that addressing investor concerns and improving the overall business environment are top priorities for his department.
Need for streamlined facilitation systems
Sheikh argued that an effective one-window system is essential to eliminate unnecessary delays and prevent investors from visiting multiple departments. He also noted that land allocation alone is insufficient without providing roads, infrastructure, and other essential facilities in special economic zones.
Business role in regulatory decisions
The minister insisted that industrialists and traders must be involved in policymaking because they understand ground realities and specific business challenges. He suggested that government departments should consult chambers of commerce before introducing any measures affecting investment or commercial activities.
