FPCCI chief Mian Nasser Hyatt hails SME policy 2021

KARACHI: Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo, President FPCCI, has hailed the concerted efforts of Makhdoom Khusro Bakhtiar, Federal Minister for Industries and Production, for launching the long-overdue SME Policy of Pakistan.

The SME Policy has been in the making for many years now and the process, unfortunately, got deferred many times over, he added. Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo said that financing is the lifeline for SMEs and the SBP’s current SAAF Scheme has allowed a banking spread of 8 percent to commercial banks; on top of 1 percent refinancing rate of SBP; which makes it 9 percent for the SMEs. 

Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo has demanded that the government should update the definitions of Micro, Small and Medium-sized organizations and make it MSMEs on the lines of current best practices internationally; for devising preferential treatment protocols based on peculiar ground realities of Pakistan. MSMEs are the engines of growth and employment generation, he added.

FPCCI President proposed that the defined annual sales threshold of a meager 250 million rupees does not reflect the current ground realities of Pakistan; as when that threshold was set, the exchange rate was around 60 rupees for a dollar, which has now climbed to over 170 rupees. Therefore, he has suggested, the new limit should be set at 1.5 billion rupees for SMEs.

FPCCI Chief has reiterated his proposal for a simplified and streamlined taxation regime; including, easy-to-fill tax return forms; end to corruption; phased lowering of sales tax rates, etc. through alignment it to FPCCI’s proposal called Simplification of Taxation System in Pakistan sent to the Prime Minister of Pakistan back in February 2021.

Addressing the glaring issues in labour-related provincial and federal levies on SMEs in Pakistan, Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo has proposed that all the provincial and federal levies to be clubbed together to make a single levy to be charged either as a percentage of turnovers or on some other pertinent criteria for the sake of simplification; but, protecting the present collections for the purposes these departments have been created as well.

In order to keep demand-side variables in SMEs favour, President FPCCI has suggested that the government should keep their procurement from SMEs strong and steady; incorporating procurement for CPEC-related projects.
