pecial Court of Customs adjourned hearing of DP World Containers case because Judge of Special Court was on leave. Sources told Customs Today that nominated main accused in DP World Containers case, Naeem

Qureshi, was present in the court while the Customs Intelligence authorities have shown him as a proclaimed offender in the papers. Previously by deciding the 27 FIRs in DP World containers case, the Special Court of Customs Taxation and Anti-Smuggling released seven nominated accused who attended the court hearing, while the decision was not announced about the accused who are at large. Sources said 16 FIRs were registered in Lahore, while remaining 11

were lodged in Faisalabad. All the seven who were released by court in the said case had voluntarily presented themselves before the customs authorities to offer their assistance in the case but they were nominated as culprit in the case by customs. It is important to mention here that some of them were customs’ witnesses in FIRs. Transporter Shakoor Alam, partner of NJ International Clearing Agency Jamal Durrani, Marketing Manager Faisal Shahzad, gatekeep-

ers of DP World, Sajjad and Abdullah, Importer Kamran Butt and Rana were released in the case. Talking to Customs Today, Shakoor Alam said that customs ofTicial treated the persons who offered their assistance in investigations in the said case as culprit, adding that “we went to customs ofTice to help them but they nominated us in FIRs due to which we have to face court hearings for eight years.” Having said that all, we are ever here to help the customs,

Shakoor said. During the court hearing, no one appeared before the special court to represent the Customs Intelligence, while the counsel for accused, advocate Haseeb presented the arguments in favour of his clients in the court. Haseeb argued that his clients were not accused but have been involved by the custom intelligence in the case on which special judge recorded the statements of the accused.

ecently retired director general of Customs Intelligence and Investigation Lutfullah Virk has said Pakistan could plug leakage of up to Rs 50 billion per year by overcoming smuggling through transshipment and safe shipment, which are major loopholes in Afghan Transit Trade. This idea could be materialised by installing scanners, electronic weighbridges, trackers and video cameras linked to computer system at all ports, Virk said, besides revealing that some elements were interrupting the projects for their vested interests. He said, “I personally tried hard for installation of the scanners and weighbridges but the project is not implemented due to obstacles created by the anti-elements,” adding, FBR could save national kitty but there was need to take measures. Virk said that accountability was necessary to contain the black sheep, which were damaging national economy and reputation of the department. He said FBR has adopted a plan to appreciate the good performance but lacked punishment system that is key to make the miscreants accountable before the department. Commenting over long-standing issue of shortage of staff, he said FBR has not inducted fresh employees into department since 1990 so the enforce-

ment of customs laws to curb smuggling was not up to the mark. He lamented that average age of the employees in department was 57 years. Talking about major ways of smuggling, Virk said that almost four to Tive methods were being used to smuggle the items into Pakistan, adding that smuggling through border crossing was the main technique as alcohol was smuggled into Pakistan from India, diesel from Iran, plastic granules and other items in guise of Afghan

merican technology and Tinancial services Tirm General Electric (GE) is weighing a plan of equity Tinancing in the energy sector of Pakistan, said the company’s top ofTicial. “We are considering equity Tinancing in Pakistan,” said Azeez Mohammad, President and Chief Exec-

utive OfTicer (Power Generation Services) at GE-MEA (Middle East and Africa) region. “We always look for new ventures.” GE provides a range of power generation solutions and equipment, including simple cycle and combined cycle turbines and a number of power plants are using GE’s equipment. Responsible for driving business growth, Azeez, in an interview, said GE has a very strong balance sheet

as well as professional relationship with Tinancial agencies and institutions all over the world. “GE’s Tinancial services offer assistance to companies in arranging Tinancing as well as equity,” he said. Talking about GE’s recent initiative ‘digital power plant’, he said three power producers in Pakistan have installed this new solution and their efTiciency surged an average four percent. Digital power plant is a combi-

nation of custom-made software and sensors and GE has installed the system in Pakistan at value sharing basis. The power producers did not spend any money as GE made all the investments in return of a share in efTiciency improvement after the value addition. “We have approached every power producer in Pakistan whether or not they have GE turbines,” said Azeez, who has been with the company since 1998.

“Moreover, we are also approaching oil and gas as well as aviation sectors…we have efTiciency enhancement solutions for them.” Talking about the Pakistan’s energy chain, Azeez said policies and tariffs need to be revisited. He said the country’s existing tariff structure doesn’t provide any incentive for the increased efTiciency. “Absence of incentives for power producers is hampering investment,” he said.

want of stimulation package

t

he government needs to introduce a stimulation package to spur economic activities in the country as the nation is heading toward financial crisis in a couple years when it will start repayment of loans to the international donor agencies. Besides, the country has been witnessing an education revolution for the last one decade as the government, private and public sector universities are producing thousands of graduates every year and they need placement. It seems financial crisis as well as unemployment are going to emerge as major challenges for the next government. The security situation has significantly improved after the army operations in the tribal areas and elsewhere in the country. The latest statistics indicate decline in terrorism-related incidents by 70 percent since the operation started last year. The country has though gained economic stability to some extent, but fact remains that the borrowed money will have negative repercussions on the national economy in years to come. However, the government still has the chance to take steps for the revival of the economy. The petty issues like imposition of withholding tax need to be resolved as early as possible by taking the business community into confidence. It is a matter of trust deficit between the government officials and the business community. Everyone in this country understands the level of corruption and presence of black sheep in every government department. Everyone citizen, who has to deal with government departments, has a story of a bitter experience. Therefore, totally relying on the officials with small salary and ultimate authority is illogical. The government should have to introduce a system of check and balance in every government department and misuse of authority should be an offence punishable by law. Only termination from the service should not be deemed sufficient. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has recently told the UN General Assembly that global threat of terrorism cannot be defeated without addressing the underlying causes. Pakistan has made progress on the security front and international institutions as well as investors are keenly observing the emerging situation. The International Monetary Fund extended a $6.2 billion loan in August and praised steady growth in gross domestic product, projecting 4.5 percent growth for the next year. However, the growth is attributed to macroeconomic stability, low oil prices, planned improvements in the domestic energy supply and investment related to the ChinaPakistan Economic Corridor. Inflation has also been within limits for the last one year.

myth of strong foreign exchange reserves T

LAHORE

Dr aftab afZal

he government policymakers are thumping their chestson the increase of foreign exchange reserves from $6.64 billion in June 2013 to nearly$20 billion in October 2015 as the Pakistan Muslim LeagueNawaz has crossed almost half of the term at the helm. The PML-N government had entered a threeyear loan programme in the Tirst quarter of Tiscal year 2013-14 with the International Monetary Fund after coming to power with a pledge to bail out the country from balance of payment problem and fear of a default on international payments. However, the

Tinancial managers had failed to visualize the risks involved in the borrowed money. Though the country is no more in a state of possible default or balance of payment crisis, the money lying with the state bank of Pakistan is raised either through global investors or has been borrowed from international Tinancial institutions.The daily InTlows and outTlows make it impossible for the economists to ascertain the real situation of the borrowed money in foreign exchange reserves. Pakistan has received at least $4.5 billion from the IMF since 2013 and has raised $3.5 billion by Tloating Sukuks and Eurobonds in the international bond market.The State Bank has made it clear to the government on sev-

eral occasions that it is not in favour of the government approach to raise foreign exchange reserves through borrowings.The government tenure is going to end in 2017 and a new government will have to start repayments to the Paris Club in 201617 following the debt rescheduling of December 2001.The repayments to IMF will start from 2017-18. The country’s debt servicing capacity is in question until the nation is able to achieve a sustainable growth by real earnings from exports,increase in remittances from expatriate Pakistanisandrationalisation of the import bill. Ishaq Dar, the economic wizard of the PML-N,is not interested in any alternative plan to fend off

the possible Tinancial crisis after the government completes its tenure in 2017, leaving a legacy of Tinancial maladministration for the next government. It should also be noted that the Coalition Support Fund will also be not available while the new government will have to allocate an annual amount of $1.8 billion for debt servicing. The current stockpile of $20 billion,consisting of debt and grants, would be drained off when repaymentsto the IMF and other donor agencies will start. According to experts, the foreign exchange reserves, based on the borrowed money,are not a reTlection of a stable economy. Only real economic growth is the panacea to the economic woes.

igh Commissioner of Canada Heather Cruden has said that Canadian companies were being encouraged to visit Karachi in order to explore trade and investment opportunities in this region. Exchanging views during her visit to KCCI, Canadian High Commissioner sounded fairly optimistic about the security situation of Karachi city which has been improving and was much better as compared to other areas of the country. “We encourage Canadian companies and numerous business delegation have been visiting Pakistan but we cannot force them invest here”, she said, adding that the perception about Pakistan was still an issue which refrains Canadian investors. She observed that Pakistan and Canada have been enjoying longlasting relations and both countries share joint values. Honorary Consul General of Canada in Karachi Behram D. Avari, Senior Vice President KCCI Zia Ahmed Khan, Vice President KCCI Muhammad Naeem Sharif, Former

President KCCI Majyd Aziz, Former Senior Vice President KCCI Muhammad Ibrahim Kasumbi and KCCI Managing Committee members were also present at the meeting. Earlier, while welcoming the High Commissioner, Senior Vice President KCCI Zia Ahmed Khan informed that Karachi, which is the economic hub of Pakistan, offers proTitable investment opportunities and added facilities for investment and joint ventures. “The law and order situation in Karachi is not an issue any more, thanks to the untiring efforts made by Law Enforcement Agencies in dealing with the situation and restoring peace to a certain extent”, he added.

he Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI) has hoped that International Investment Conference in Islamabad and Lahore would pave way for much-needed foreign investment. In a statement issued here Wednesday, the LCCI President Sheikh Muhammad Arshad, Senior Vice President Almas Hyder and Vice President Nasir Saeed said that such events should be meaningful as foreign investment plays a critical role in economic uplift of any country. They said that by encouraging Foreign Direct Investment, Pakistan can gain technological advancement, knowledge and expertise from the global arena therefore every possible step should be taken to make this piece of land attractive

for the foreign investors. “Measures to encourage investment are especially important in the country as this is an area where we have long been at a disadvantage despite having all resources”, the LCCI ofTice-bearers said. They said that those obstacles should be removed through a positive approach and practical steps which are coming in the way of FDI in Pakistan and top of the list is the cost of doing business. The LCCI ofTice-bearers said that Pakistan ranks worse than other countries of the region as far as cost of doing business is concerned. The LCCI President Sheikh Muhammad Arshad said severestever energy shortfall, bad law and order situation, institutional fragility and the political instability were the major factors keeping the foreign investors away. He urged the government to ini-

tiate meaningful discourse with the private sector to boost up Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that is not up to the mark. “Though Pakistan ranks 62nd in the FDI-friendly countries that does not reTlect its potential and available resources” he said adding that there is a dire need to promote economic vitality by strengthening private sector as internal dynamism has faded away due to acute energy shortage, deteriorating law and order and political instability. Sheikh Muhammad Arshad said that rising risk perception about investing into Pakistan is hitting hard the entire economy and needs to be tackled through a comprehensive policy approach by involving Chambers of Commerce in the country. The LCCI Senior Vice President Almas Hyder said that in the recent past, fall in Foreign Direct Investment has adversely affected the country’s economic growth.

Speaking on the occasion, Former President KCCI Majyd Aziz sought Canadian assistance in capacity building of women entrepreneurs and improving the health and education sectors of Pakistan which were in a pathetic state. He was of the view that the cordial relations between Pakistan and Canada provide a comfort zone to business communities of the two countries who must look for investment opportunities either in Pakistan or in Canada.

However, Simon Wan Hingchuen, who heads the customs division investigating illegal cigarettes, played down the problem in Hong Kong. “According to my experience, there are not many fake cigarettes” circulating around town, he said.

The consignment was found in a cargo container which was unloaded from an ocean-going vessel that arrived from Haiphong, Vietnam, on Saturday. It was chosen for inspection. The contents were listed in the import document as houseware, Wan said. “When the container was opened for inspection on Tuesday, it was packed with 770 cartons of illicit cigarettes,” he said, adding that no houseware goods were found. “We believe the consignment was bound for Taiwan because it carried health warnings written in traditional Chinese and printed with the telephone number of a Taiwanese authority,” Wan said. He said the route being used to smuggle the cigarettes was rare. But he insisted there was no evidence that Hong Kong was being used as a transit point. In 2013, customs officers seized 9.3 million illicit cigarettes in a container from Malaysia bound for Australia. No one has been arrested and investigations are continuing.

K S, from Canada, arrived at Abu Dhabi International Airport from a business trip in Cairo when she was stopped by customs ofTicials. Less than half a gram of cannabis “powder” was found inside her bag, and less than 2 grams in her wallet. Her urine sample also tested positive for cannabis. K S told the court that she was sent by her employers on a business trip in Cairo and she had to share a room with a colleague. “She

also had a key to my room, and many people kept visiting her,” K S said. As for testing positive for drugs, she said while she was there she ran out of cigarettes and took one from her driver. “When I smoked it, I felt it was too strong but he said ‘those are Egyptian cigarettes’,” she said. Her lawyer, Fayza Moussa, said the inspection was invalid. “She was not caught in the act and did not show signs of suspicion for the customs ofTicer to inspect her in that thorough manner,” she said. As for consumption, she said since K S took hashish outside of the UAE and was caught in the airport before entering the country, UAE courts were not authorized to look into her case.

west coast ports suffere drop in container volume as import market share est Coast ports in September suffered a drop in container volume as well as import market share, but it is too early to determine if this is the beginning of a trend or just a one-month anomaly for ports that appeared to be recovering from the loss of business earlier in the year. Statistics compiled by PIERS, a sister company of JOC.com within IHS, show that the West Coast market share of U.S. containerized imports in September declined to 51.4 percent from 52.5 percent in August. By contrast, the market share of East Coast ports increased to 43 percent in September from 42.1 percent in August, while the Gulf Coast market share increased to 5.5 percent from 5.4 percent. Meanwhile, numbers posted this week on the website of the Pacific Maritime Association show a decline in West Coast ports’ total container volume in September to 1,318,780 twenty-foot-equivalent units from 1,483,942 TEUs in August. Total loaded containers handled by West Coast ports in September declined 4 percent compared to September 2014, and containerized imports were down 2 percent from September 2014, according to PMA numbers. The first nine months of 2015 have been a roller coaster ride for West Coast ports due to labor issues associated with the contract negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association and the port congestion that resulted. —CB Report

he Queensland government will change legislation to allow the expansion of a far north Queensland port. State Development Minister Anthony Lynham will next week amend the Sustainable Ports Development Bill 2015 to allow capital

dredging at Cairns Port, despite it not being considered a “priority port”. It will allow Ports North to dredge up to 50,000 cubic metres of material per project and up to a total of 150,000 cubic metres in a four-year period. That’s despite capital dredging currently only being allowed at the four major priority ports of Gladstone, Abbot Point, Townsville and Hay Point/Mackay.

Other ports are only allowed to undertake maintenance dredging. Treasurer Curtis Pitt, whose electorate is based in Cairns, says the compromise recognised the port’s economic beneTits and would help attract new investment to the region. “This is all about striking a balance that protects the environment and supports economic development, jobs and future trade growth in the far north,” he said.

Green groups have welcomed the compromise, with the Australian Marine Conservation Society and WWF Australia saying it protected the Great Barrier Reef by banning dumping at sea. “Overall, these laws are a major step forward in protecting the Reef from rampant industrial development, dredging and dumping,” WWF Australia reef campaigner Louise Matthiesson said.
