PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government on Monday unveiled the draft of the KP industrial policy that aims to empower the province through balanced and sustainable industrial growth by capitalising on the indigenous endowment, leading towards equitable distribution of socio-economic dividends, job creation and inclusive economic growth. The industrial policy draft was presented and discussed with the stakeholders to include their recommendations at a workshop. KP Finance Minister Taimur Salim Jhagra, Chief Advisor to the Industries Minister Abdul Karim Khan and traders of the province participated. Former Sarhad Chamber of Commerce president Zahid Shinwari suggested the KP government to incorporate the opinions of industrialists in the new industrial policy. “The policies made for European industries cannot be implemented in KP, so the industrial policy should be devised according to the environment of our province,” Shinwari said.
