ISLAMABAD,(UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jun, 2018 ) :The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) on Tuesday welcomed the induction of five prominent businessmen as ministers in the caretaker setup terming it a positive move.

Those who had become ministers include Sardar Tanveer Ilyas, Faisal Mushtaq, Fazal Elahi, Naveed Jan Baloch, and Mian Anjum Nisar, who are respected businessmen and enjoy the confidence of the business community.

The decision will infuse confidence in the business community reeling under problems and bring it closer to the government which is good for the economy, said FPCCI President Ghazanfar Bilour.

In a joint statement issued here today, Ghazanfar Bilour, FPCCI vice presidents Mazhar Ali Nasir, Atif Ikram, Karim Aziz Malik, and Chaudhry Jaweed Iqbal, leaders of UBG SM Muneer, Iftikhar Malik, and Zubair Tufail, and Chairman Coordination FPCCI Malik Sohail hoped that the newly-appointed ministers will serve with full dedication.

Business people could make great politicians and a majority of them had proved that they could make a difference as most of them were motivated by a genuine will to do good, they said.

Ghazanfar Bilour said that those who wanted to give, and not take, means that they were likely to be the better politicians. They were not careerist and not desperate to make money by stealing from the public purse.

Many businessmen who become politicians could bring fresh energy into the system as they represented an ecosystem that was driven by the urgency to produce results, he added.

The president of the apex chamber said that businessmen knew how to harness human capability and their businesses thrive when leaders had an eye for talent and could create conditions that were conducive for creativity and productivity.

Pakistan is a great country with a powerful combination of all the ingredient to become an economic power and all it needs is someone to harness its energy and guide it to greatness, the statement said.
