He highlighted the fundamental role the real estate sector plays that would promote business activities, create employment opportunities and attract foreign investment.

Rationalising taxes would ensure an enabling environment for the growth of all ancillary industries including cement, steel, brick, timber and building material, etc.

Assuring support to IEAA, ICCI announced to get a stay order from Islamabad High Court against the 300% hike in property tax by the Metropolitan Corporation Islamabad (MCI). As a result, the property tax will be deposited at the old rates until the court passes a decision.
