    Being the biggest contributor to the country's foreign exchange- around 76 percent- and employing around 2.2 million people, 80 percent of them women, the importance of nurturing a sector as vibrant and thriving as the garments industry, cannot be emphasized enough. With export of Ready Made Garments (RMG) reaching 9.2 billion in 2007 and predictions of it rising to 12 billion or more in the next two years, it is obvious that the industry is growing at an exponential speed.

    In order to solve the economic and political difficulties, Pakistan has received significant loan or grant assistance from international financial institutions. Those international financial institutions are IMF, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Recently, Pakistan remains dependent on IMF and other international assistance for budgetary support and to keep the country more or less solvent. Cotton textile production and apparel manufacturing are the major industries in Pakistan. Pakistan's search for additional foreign direct investment has been hampered by concerns about the security situation, domestic and regional political uncertainties, and questions about judicial transparency. Pakistan also noticed as high trade deficit. This is because of weak world demand for its exports and domestic political uncertainty. In 2009, the country’s major import fell to $28.4 billion. The ongoing energy crisis and security concerns, together with a decline in global demand, have hampered Pakistan’s textile-reliant export base. For me, with the uncertainty of the Pakistan’s economic and political conditions it is a bad move to exporting our products to Pakistan. It will cost us a lot in every condition.…

    It is now a cliché that the acceleration in the global movement of capital and goods, termed conventionally ‘globalization’, carries both immense opportunities, but also serious potential threats. Ultimately it will be the international competitiveness of firms in particular economies that will determine how far opportunities are converted into lasting national benefits and how far potential threats from heightened international competition result in serious cost. There is general agreement that currently with important domestic policy changes and with the forthcoming end of the international textile and clothing quota regime the economy of Pakistan is at an important crossroads. The competitiveness of the industrial sector in the new more liberal international and domestic environment will have a critical bearing on economic prospects for the foreseeable future.…
