Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) President Zahid Aslam on Monday said the government should take measures to clear all refund claims of exporters to enable them to compete in international markets. In a statement, he said billions of rupees of exporters refund claims were still pending with various government departments which were aggravating the liquidity crunch for the industry that had faced a severe energy crisis for many years. He, however, endorsed Finance Minister Ishaq Dar that the government required time to revert to progressive economic policies. He said everybody knew the industry and businesses were worst hit by corruption, plunder and ill-conceived policies of the previous government.
