  1. With such a big might of SCCI & FPCCI, should they be able to convince GOP to offload subsidy amounting say Rs one trillion by privatizing PSM, PIA, Railways, Wapda etc and routing that money to the promotion of industry, trade, tourism in the private sector. Just for reference, such a huge sum of money, which at present going waste could create equity for setting up say two oil refineries of the minimum size of Pak Arab Refinery as joint venture with equity participation by some gulf or KSA investors.
