Over 1,200 items on the negative list regime for trade with India will be withdrawn in December and the time has come for the two countries to think of introducing a common currency to boost trade, ruling Pakistan People’s Party leader Jehangir Badr has said.
“Precisely 1,209 items on the negative list of trade with India will be withdrawn by December,” Badr said while addressing a Pakistan-India Media Conference at the Lahore Press Club yesterday.
The time has come for Pakistan and India to think of introducing a common currency for countering the pressure of the US dollar, British pound and Euro and to boost bilateral trade, he said.
