Prime Minister Imran Khan has inaugurated Pakistan’s first e-commerce web portal, E-Tijarat, to promote trading.
The portal will also help the government to bring transparency in the IT sector.
The prime minister, while addressing the E-Commerce Pakistan Convention, announced the implementation of a zero-tax policy for the registered freelancers in the country.
“Since coming into power, I’ve had repeated a sentence, ‘Ghabrana nahi hai’. Everyone knows about the crises in the country after our government came to the power as we are going towards bankruptcy.”
“I’ve asked my cabinet not to get panicked and now, I’m telling the opposition not to get panicked.”
PM Imran Khan said that many people associated with the information technology (IT) sector became billionaires and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) paid special attention to the IT sector and youth.
“Pakistan has a capacity to achieve the target of IT exports worth Rs50 billion. Some sectors have also already achieved it and the IT export was increased up to Rs3.75 billion. We will remove hurdles in the growth of our youth and provide them facilities. We will take full advantage of the revolution of technology.”
