He said that LCCI is the premier business support organization of the country having more than 32,000 members. He said that LCCI has always promoted compliance and business facilitation besides focusing on the ease of doing business.

Kashif Anwar said, “We are working day-in and day-out to enhance tax base as this is the only way to overcome the economic challenges being faced by the country.” He said that Federal Board of Revenue should consider private sector as a partner.
