The SAPM, responding to a question, said that 'technical experts are analysing the state of the present machinery of PSM and if 50 percent machinery is useable, the government is surely going to restore the PSM with Russian cooperation'.

Pakistan, Russia agree to establish new steel mills in Karachi According to officials, although Pakistan is rich in iron ore, with estimated reserves of 1.887 billion tons, it still imports about $2.7 billion worth of steel every year. Officials said that domestic steel production is not enough to meet all demand, with a supply gap of 3.1 million tons last year. The proposed steel plant site is strategically located near Port Qasim, which will help reduce transportation costs of raw materials, thereby, providing a competitive advantage. The SAPM further said that to safeguard the interests of the business community the government is to introduce some amendments in the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).

Khan said that if there is suspicion of terror financing and money laundering, then after investigation, it should be sent to the relevant agency. Talking about the remittances and other payment transfers through banking channels, the SAPM said such payments are already reaching the country through reliable and proper channels, so there should not be any need to investigate the sources. However, illegal channels such as Hawala and Hundi must not be allowed. He said that to promote and encourage the investment in the country the government is considering to waive off additional fines and surcharges on investment in industrial sector, but it will take a little time. He said that his ministry has finalised the industrial package to run closed industrial units in the country and increase business activities.
