Gwadar Project
Gwadar, a port city, serves as the entry point for immensely lucrative trade routes. The Gwadar project has the capacity to attract foreign investors & thereby resulting in a significant economic boost for Pakistan, That is why it must be declared as an international city, Where businessmen can create a business hub worldwide. 5th PILLAR can play a vital role to invite investors & international business community to develop & establish a trading hub in Gwadar as same as development of Dubai, Singapore & Hong Kong has done before.
Business Policies
5th pillar as a business community platform wants to design such policies & laws for the betterment of business in Pakistan. 5th PILLAR strongly exaggerates that the Business community should design the policies rather than bureaucrats. As it is the business community that is being suffered. So business stakeholders should be an integral part of the economy & business policy making.
Importance of IT
5th pillar understands the essentials of modern age as Technology Makes Business Processes More Efficient. 5th PILLAR is keen to bring advanced technology & IT industry to Pakistan. Technology promotion joint ventures should take place to grab foreign exchange & participation in worldwide technology innovations. Its hard for a single individual/businessman to bring advanced technology with high financial risks, collective initiative of the business community can help to reduce financial risks.

Testimonials
Mr. Ilyas Majeed Sheikh
This revenue is the lifeblood of public services, empowering governments to provide essential goods and services that improve the quality of life for citizens. From access to quality healthcare and education to social protection programs and basic public services, a thriving economy is the foundation upon which prosperous societies are built.
However, economic growth is not without its challenges. As we expand the productive base of our economy, we require additional capital goods and services to support this growth. To achieve this, we have three key strategies:
- Unlocking dormant national resources: By harnessing the untapped potential of our national resources, we can stimulate economic growth without relying on external factors.
- Domestic manufacturing of capital goods: By promoting domestic manufacturing, we can reduce our reliance on imports, create jobs, and stimulate innovation.
- Increasing domestic production: By focusing on the production of goods and services required within our country, we can reduce our trade deficit, promote self-sufficiency, and drive economic growth.
By adopting these strategies, we can create a virtuous cycle of economic growth, where business thrives, governments have the resources to deliver quality public services, and citizens enjoy an improved quality of life. Together, let’s unlock the potential of our economy and build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.
