About PBC
The Pakistan Business Council (PBC) is a business policy advocacy forum, representing private-sector businesses that have substantial investments in
Pakistan’s economy. It was formed in 2005 by 14 (now 66) of Pakistan’s largest enterprises, including multinationals, to allow businesses to meaningfully
interact with government and other stakeholders.
The Pakistan Business Council is a pan-industry advocacy group. It is not a trade body nor does it advocate for any specific business sector. Rather, its key
advocacy thrust is on easing barriers to allow Pakistani businesses to compete in regional and global markets.
The PBC works closely with relevant government departments, ministries, regulators and institutions, as well as other stakeholders including professional
bodies, to develop consensus on major issues which impact the conduct of business in and from Pakistan. The PBC has submitted key position papers and
recommendations to the government on legislation and other government policies affecting businesses. It also serves / has served on various taskforces
and committees of the Government of Pakistan as well as those of the State Bank, the SECP, the FBR and other regulators with the objective to provide
policy assistance on new initiatives and reforms.
PBC membership has grown over the last decade to include most of the leading private sector businesses within multiple sectors in Pakistan. The entry
threshold, however, is kept high to maintain focus and quality. A company, in order to be eligible to become a member of the PBC has to be of a certain
size and has to enjoy good reputation in the industry.
The PBC conducts research and holds conferences and seminars to facilitate the flow of relevant information to all stakeholders in order to help create an
informed view on the major issues faced by Pakistan
