To promote industry, CM Maryam establishes an Economic Transformation Committee.

The provincial Economic Transformation Committee was formed by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz to promote sector-specific growth and strengthen the province’s economy.

Senior Minister Maryam Aurangzeb will lead the 11-person committee, and the Finance Secretary will act as the committee secretary.

According to sources, the group would prioritize sectors for creating industry clusters and use economic mapping to identify possible growth regions at the district level.

Additionally, it will create both short- and long-term deadlines for economic projects and set actionable indicators. To guarantee viability and impact, plans will be developed in conjunction with stakeholders in the business sector.

The committee will take action to connect locally produced value-added products to global value chains and concentrate on skill development programs that are suited to industry demands.

It will also endeavor to establish a sustainable ecosystem to facilitate economic expansion.

Proposals include developing specialized industry hubs across Punjab: dairy products in Sahiwal, IT software in Lahore, garment and leather clusters, technical textiles and furniture in Faisalabad, surgical and sports goods in Gujranwala, and fans, rice exports, and appliances in Gujrat.
