Pakistan to lift ban on the trade of 1200 items with India

Pakistan would allow the trade of over 1200 goods which have been banned for over a decade. The restrictions would be withdrawn by December

Pakistan People’s Party leader Jehangir Badr, has said that the time has come for the two countries to think of introducing a common currency to boost trade.

“Precisely 1,209 items on the negative list of trade with India will be withdrawn by December,” Badr said while addressing a Pakistan-India Media Conference at the Lahore Press Club yesterday.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.
