Pakistan’s mismanagement of foreign exchange policies has caused international airlines to struggle to repatriate their revenue, resulting in some shutting down operations and others limiting or relocating transaction processing abroad, according to the President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Irfan Iqbal Sheikh. The issue, which has forced air fares to triple, is causing difficulties for businesses sourcing raw materials for industrial production and promoting trade and B2B activities. The President of the Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (UNISAME), Zulfikar Thaver, has suggested the government launch prize bonds in various denominations in US dollars and Sterling Pounds to address the issue.
