The Chamber’s voice

Advocacy & Research

The Chamber speaks for Gujranwala’s manufacturers and traders to the federal and Punjab governments: on tax, energy, trade policy and the day-to-day obstacles of doing business. This is where its positions and its reference library live.

How we advocate

From a member’s problem to the government’s desk

  1. 1Hearing members

    Sector committees and their conveners bring members’ problems to the office bearers — from industrial gas supply to property tax and freight.

  2. 2Representation to government

    The leadership meets the agencies members deal with — FBR, Customs, GEPCO, SNGPL, the police and the district administration — to resolve issues directly.

  3. 3Budget & policy proposals

    Budget and trade-policy proposals to the federal government, and positions on tax and trade measures as they are announced.

  4. 4Public statements

    When a measure threatens members’ business, the Chamber says so publicly — as it did on energy costs and on the proposed trash tax in November 2026.
