Islamabad: The Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) on Thursday announced a waiver of the 50 percent membership fee for women chambers. 

President FPCCI Atif Ikram Sheikh, in a statement issued here, said that the country and society cannot progress without the full role of women, adding that the initiative of reducing membership fees was important for women’s empowerment.

We have fulfilled our promise, for which full credit goes to the leadership of United Business Group (UBG), who had promised this during the election campaign, he added.

Ikram said that Pakistani women were extremely talented, and the chamber was striving to empower them in the economic field. 

“If Pakistan is to progress, we have to make our women educated, skilled, and empowered to be businesswomen,” he added.
