Pakistan’s textile exports are taking a hit because of the high cost of utilities, said Pakistan Apparel Forum Chairman Muhammad Jawed Bilwani. “The government has not given due attention to the rising cost of utilities during the last two and a half years and this has now become a big hurdle in the way of increasing exports,” he said, adding unless the government evaluated the difference in the cost of manufacturing with regional textile exporting countries, it would not be able to understand fully the causes of declining exports, reports The Media.
