Mr. Zaki speaks to Daily AZB about Pakistan’s entrepreneurial system and himself about his role in family business Companies.
AZB: Do you think that in Pakistan, entrepreneurship can be a key driver of the economy?
Shamoon Zaki Entrepreneurship cannot be a key driver of the formal economy given the current structural conditions of the economy. I emphasis the term ‘formal’ here. Pakistani entrepreneurs exist primarily in the informal economy. Their transition to formal status is discouraged by a punitive tax system for filers characterized by high rates, multiple taxes and the need to negotiate with multiple agencies and authorities. Structural disincentives to formalization also include an onerous regulatory system operated by a corrupt bureaucracy, the burden of which falls disproportionately on small businesses.
