The Prime Minister said different laws at federal and provincial levels, unnecessary rules and regulations for businesses, hurdles by government departments for the business community and corruption resulted in a stagnation of industrial development.
He said the large number of youth in the country, availability of cheap workforce and liberal government policy provide a conducive environment to investment which should be fully utilized.
The Prime Minister directed the Chairman BoI to complete the process of harmonizing and integrating the federal and provincial laws on business within a month.
He said the relevant laws should be made simpler in coordination with the provinces in the light of recommendations of the Board of Investment.
