Learning Objective: The prime objective of this discussion is to recognize and analyze the influence of political and legal environment on business.

Discussion Question:

Pakistan’s automobile industry is playing a leading role as large scale manufacturing sector of Pakistan that serves as backbone of the economy and has immense potential for growth.

Last year, federal government has announced relaxation in the import policy for import of used cars under Transfer of Residence, Gift Scheme and Personal Baggage Scheme.
