New Era for Pakistan Business Council: Ziad Bashir Takes the Helm

In a significant development, the Pakistan Business Council (PBC) has elected Ziad Bashir as its new chairman, marking a new chapter for the advocacy platform. With a term of 18 months, Bashir is set to bring his expertise and vision to the council, which represents 102 companies responsible for a substantial share of the country's exports, tax receipts, and GDP. As a seasoned business leader and member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, Bashir is well-positioned to drive policy reforms and promote export competitiveness, tax base expansion, and business growth. His appointment is seen as a significant milestone, given his track record of building commercial and cultural links between Pakistan and Denmark, and his role in founding the Pakistan Retail Business Council. Bashir's priorities include enhancing export competitiveness, broadening the tax base, and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. With his leadership, the PBC is poised to play an even more critical role in shaping the country's economic landscape.
