OSL Take:
Positive feedback from the European Council and other global organisations is helping the unity government to march on with the ambitious USD 44 billion Western Region Megapolis Masterplan’s 140 projects proposed on the PPP investment model to overseas investors.
Winnig back the GSP+ soon will tremendously boost the revenue potential of the garment industry and also will help the unity government’s one million job creation election promise.
