ISLAMABAD: Amid an evolving geopolitical landscape and shifting global supply chains, textile exporters have proposed a series of measures for inclusion in the upcoming budget to boost exports by an additional $5 billion, without seeking subsidies or direct government financial support.
To seize opportunities arising from the Middle East conflict, major textile associations have come together with a unified approach, pledging to utilise their available export surplus and capacity to capitalise on shifting demand, provided supportive policy measures are in place.
Leading textile and clothing exporters, including Khurram Mukhtar, Javed Bilwani, Fawad Anwar, Rehman Naseem, Shahzad Asghar, Amer Abdullah, Kamran Arshad, Shahzad Saleem, Sohail Pasha and Khawaja Masood, met Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb at the finance ministry on Tuesday.
A joint industry presentation was submitted as part of the textile sector’s unified recommendations for the federal budget 2026-27.
