Trade Development Authority of Pakistan's Chief Executive SM Muneer, who is also patron-in-chief of the United Business Group, said that no corruption has been noted in the FPCCI during the last two years which reflects the Group's sincerity towards prosperity of business community. The petroleum prices have destructive impact on world exports.

The government is co-operating with us on tax refunds. "Our exports are showing positive trends while six percent increase has been noted in November 2016," he added. Speaking on the occasion, Iftikhar Ali Malik said the UBG is voice of business community and election of this year witnesses our dedication. We won election of President and Vice President along with eight Vice Presidents seats. He said UBG will continue these process years to years. He said media should expend commerce pages as business community is developing.
