Realising the gaps and importance of the Trade sector, Pakistan initiated its national trade and transport facilitation program. National Trade & Transport Facilitation Committee (NTTFC), a public-private joint venture was established in 2001. The committee works in close coordination with Federal ministries, public sector organisations, chamber of commerce & industry and trade association. NTTFC is responsible to carry on efforts for enhanced trade competitiveness through improved trade and transport facilitation. TF Committee is currently reinvigorated by secretary planning.
