The Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has announced a significant step towards women’s empowerment in the business sector. The organization is offering a 50% discount on membership fees for women’s chambers of commerce and industry (WCCIs).
FPCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh hailed the initiative, emphasizing the importance of women’s participation in Pakistan’s economic development.
“The country and society cannot progress without the full role of women,” he stated.
“This fee reduction is crucial for empowering women in business.”
Sheikh further acknowledged the UBG leadership’s role in advocating for this initiative during their election campaign.
“We are fulfilling our promise today,”
he declared.
The FPCCI President highlighted the immense talent among Pakistani women. “We are committed to empowering them in the economic field,” he said. “For Pakistan to truly progress, we must ensure our women are educated, skilled, and empowered to become successful business leaders.”
This move by the FPCCI is expected to encourage greater participation of women’s chambers and female entrepreneurs in the Pakistani business landscape. The reduced membership fee will likely make it easier for WCCIs to join the federation and access its resources and support networks.
