could not be materialized due to some technical issues and the lapse of funds. However, this time, the plan would get on as the boats would be handed over to us within six months,” Collector Junejo added. In the present scenario, smugglers are using sea routes to smuggle Iranian diesel and contraband items, he said, adding that the AntiSmuggling Organization (ASO) has been maintaining a vigil and all the bids have been foiled.

he Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has collected more than Rs100 billion in Oirst 15 days of new Oiscal year (2017-18) with 30 per cent growth over the same period of previous Oinancial year. FBR Spokesman Dr Muhammad Iqbal told media said that the Board has issued most statutory regulatory orders (SROs) related to budgetary

measures, which has caused surge in tax collection. “We have received more than Rs100 billion in the Oirst two weeks of the current month,” another tax ofOicial said, noting that it was the highest monthly revenue collection in the past few years. Last year, the revenue collection in July was around Rs150 billion. “We expect to cross this Oigure comfortably,” the ofOicial said. The FBR usually collects advance taxes in its attempt to achieve annual revenue targets, which are then adjusted in the Oirst couple of months of

the next Oiscal year. “The growth shows that the FBR has not taken advance taxes,” the ofOicial claimed. The government projected a revenue collection target of around Rs4 trillion for 2017-18 on the pretext that the collection in the last Oiscal year would be Rs3.42tr. However, the actual collection in 2016-17 stood at Rs3.37 trillion, leaving a shortfall of Rs47 billion. FBR Member Operation Inland Revenue Khawaja Tanver said that it would be a very ambitious revenue target for the current Oiscal year.

Meanwhile, The Finance Committee of the Senate has ordered the Chairman Federal Board of Revenue, Tariq Mehmood Pasha, that correct information in a report of the amnesty scheme of the vehicle should be produced before the committee meeting on Tuesday. The committee had observed a mistake in the brieOing regarding the amnesty scheme for motor vehicles provided by the Federal Board of Revenue and sent back to the FBR for correction and clariOication. A meeting of the Standing Com-

mittee of the Senate on Finance, Revenue and Economic Affairs and Privatization will be held on 18th of July in the committee Room No: 1 on 18th of July 2017 at the Parliament House under the chairmanship of Senator Saleem Mandviwala.

Strategic Trade Policy Framework

T

he government introduced Strategic Trade Policy Framework last year to encourage diversification of products, increase regional trade and expand exports to $35 billion by 2018. However, the framework failed to meet its objectives in utter disappointment of the business community and the nation. Experts believe the cumbersome procedure and official rigmarole are the basic ingredients of its failure coupled with illstructured mechanism to avail the scheme. Most of the funds, earmarked under the scheme, have been lapsed and the Ministry of Commerce has now started working on a new policy to unveil it in six months. Meanwhile, the exports are continuously been falling and 25 percent of its volume have been washed away in four years of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government. The government ministers are not tired of claiming that they want to enhance business and trade to change the lot of this nation. However, the government thrust is still on its political relations with other countries rather than economic relations. Pakistan apparently has cordial relations with Saudi Arabia and other gulf countries, but the government could not negotiate business deals with any of the states. Saudi Arabia is the biggest country in the world having billions of dollars religious tourism industry, but Pakistan’s share in the business is negligible as compared to the European countries. Even China has expanded its volume of business despite it has minimal diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia. It appears the Pakistani policymakers live in isolation and will never understand the dynamics of the economy and business. The western nations are taking their share of business in Gulf States but the thrust of Pakistani government always remained on the export of unskilled labour force. The Commerce Ministry is now in process of consultation with export associations and other stakeholders to bring a fresh version of the policy framework before the budget 201718. But the mandate of the present government will be at the brink of closure and the new government will bring new set of policies. Pakistan has trade missions all over the world with qualified commercial attachés drawing heavy perks and salaries.

SWITZERLAND: The latest report from the Finance Magnates Intelligence Department and the retention automation firm CPattern shows that Switzerland was the best market for getting new deposits on the global forex trading map during the month of May 2017. Surprisingly, following the wealthy, developed nation of Switzerland some relatively poor developing nations made it onto the list of top ten highest average first time deposits in May. These include Belarus, Peru, Guatemala, Ecuador and Swaziland. Switzerland was also high on the list of overall average deposits, behind only Singapore. Unsurprisingly, most of the entries are rich European, Gulf and APAC nations. Belarus was the only representative of the poorer parts of the world this time.
