Positive news on positive list

Nirupama Subramanian

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has allowed the import of compressed natural gas (CNG) buses from India under its trade policy for 2008-09.

The import of CNG buses has been allowed along with that of 135 other items that have been added to the positive list for imports from India in the policy announced on Friday by Commerce Minister Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar.

With this, the number of items that the government permits for import from India goes up to nearly 2,000.

Pakistan reportedly has plans to import 8,000 CNG buses for public transport in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

Pakistan’s official imports with India are based entirely on a restrictive positive list rather than the more conventional negative list that most trading countries use.

No imports are allowed other than the items on the positive list.
