Karachi: The global B2B e-commerce transactions have crossed US$ 12.4 trillion milestone in 2012 which was just US$ 3.4 trillion in 2005. If Pakistani businesses explore the online business opportunities, Pakistan has enormous potential to increase its exports many fold within few years.
These views were expressed by Hafiz Saqif, head of global business expansion of TradeKey while addressing the seminar on how to use internet to get export orders at Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce & Industry. The Young Entrepreneur Standing Committee of RCCI played a significant role in organizing the seminar.
Hafiz Said that world over the online trade business is touching new heights but Pakistan doesn’t have any substantial share in online trade. Internet is the future of Pakistani economy and if we utilize the full potential of opportunities available on the internet, country can easily accelerate its exports many fold. He said that promotion of our locally produced products through internet world over has not yet gained momentum for Pakistani manufacturers and exporters.
Around 100 enterprises and SME’ benefitted from the e-Business seminar that emphasized on utilizing the power and reach of the internet to connect with businesses all around the globe. The seminar also discussed how the global communities are turning towards online mediums and are effectively catering to their export needs.
Hafiz Saqif informed the audience about the power of e-business and how Tradekey’ Corporate Club Vision will reshape the export sector of Pakistan.President of RCCI, Mr. Javed Akhtar Bhatti highlighted the “Made in Pakistan” agenda. He said that Pakistani products need no introduction, credited by their superior craftsmanship and dedicated hard work; Made in Pakistan products can compete at any level in the global market. Unfortunately, Pakistani exporters are not taking advantage of the opportunities available through internet.
“Made in Pakistan” for TradeKey refers to the specific allocation of space to Pakistani businesses on TradeKey’s online B2B marketplace. RCCI has also launched, “B2B Information and Education Center” that will educate the clients about Tradekey.com and the dynamics of B2B business.
