Introduction<br />
EC <strong>TRTA</strong> Programme<br />
The International Trade Centre UNCTAD/WTO (ITC) is executing an EC-funded Trade<br />
Related Technical Assistance (<strong>TRTA</strong>) programme for Pakistan. The objective of the<br />
programme is to enhance awareness among Government officials, the business sector and civil<br />
society about the implications of World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreements on the<br />
economy of the country, and to assist Pakistan in building the necessary capacity to address<br />
issues resulting from its participation in the WTO.<br />
Within this framework, a number of series will be held focussing on various aspects of the<br />
WTO negotiating framework – including Agriculture, NAMA and Trade Facilitation in<br />
addition to <strong>Services</strong>.<br />
The seminars involve both public and private sector stakeholders, and are designed to increase<br />
awareness of the negotiations and their progress, to look ahead to the challenges and<br />
opportunities that the negotiations may provide for both government policy and business<br />
practice. This enhanced knowledge will equip business leaders to play a more meaningful<br />
advocacy role with the government, with a view to contributing to the completion of the WTO<br />
negotiations. The seminars are intended to foster communication between business and<br />
government, leading to the formation of negotiating positions in line with national needs and<br />
inclusive of the real and concrete economic and commercial interests of the country.<br />
With the <strong>TRTA</strong>, a number of activities are also focused on the development of Pakistan’s<br />
services exports. These include advisory services and training, a survey of the export potential<br />
of the services sector, and development of a service export strategy. Special events, such as<br />
this, are also being organised targeting trade bodies on how to promote service exports and of<br />
the implications of the GATS.<br />

<strong>Services</strong> seminar <strong>report</strong><br />
The Pakistani Institute of Management (PIM), in conjunction with the International Trade<br />
Centre (ITC), hosted a <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> on 31 May 2005 in Karachi under the auspices of the<br />
EC Trade Related Technical Assistance Programme (<strong>TRTA</strong>) for Pakistan.<br />
Private sector representatives from the financial, information technology, construction,<br />
telecommunications and professional service sectors were brought together as panellists to<br />
discuss trade constraints. The evening before the seminar, they gathered for a briefing on the<br />
objectives of the seminar and primary principles of international trade in services.<br />
Government agencies were represented by the Ministry of Commerce (MOC), Export<br />
Promotion Bureau (EPB), the Ministry of Industries and Production (MIP), the Pakistan<br />
Software Export Board (PSEB) and provincial governments, and participated actively in the<br />
discussions.<br />
Presentations were made primarily by private sector panellists, and were rich in examples of<br />
General Agreement on Trade in <strong>Services</strong> (GATS) issues as well as general market challenges.<br />
The symposium was characterised by a very transparent exchange of views from both the<br />
private and public sector participants. The Joint Secretary, MOC, Qasim Niaz, participated for<br />
the full day of the event, responding in detail to a number of concerns raised by services<br />
exporters on WTO related issues. This was clearly appreciated by private sector participants.<br />
Moderators for the sessions (both from the private sector) did a good job in keeping panellists<br />
focussed but also in drawing out key themes on services export development. Regulatory<br />
issues, both internal and external, lack of recognition of professional qualifications obtained in<br />
Pakistan and infrastructural inefficiencies were all cited as constraints to services exports<br />
development.<br />
Overall awareness of services exports, both from the private and public sectors remains low in<br />
Pakistan. Although there are some successes, the potential for success in key sectors, such as<br />
financial services, professional services, IT and Telecoms, remains largely untapped. There are<br />
some comparative advantages in the construction sector, but these are being eroded by very<br />
aggressive competition from East Asia and China. The possibilities for attracting outsourcing,<br />
including call centres, service centres and BPOs faces the key challenge of India, which is<br />
many years ahead both in terms of capability and marketing expertise.<br />
The comment from the private sector is they are to a large extent left to their own devices in<br />
the market, whilst at the same time not understanding the overall multilateral services export<br />
environment. The symposium went some way towards redressing these concerns, but it was at<br />
most a positive beginning. Panellist recommendations focussed strongly on the need for a more<br />
sustained public/private sector dialogue.<br />
<strong>Services</strong> trade impediments<br />
Representatives from each sector identified numerous establishment issues in various markets.<br />
For example, a financial institution interested in the Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Middle East<br />
markets identified complex licensing arrangements, compliance with arduous disclosure rules,<br />
International Trade Centre Page 3
estrictions on repatriation of profits, as well as high capital requirements as constraints to<br />
operations abroad.<br />
A construction conglomerate emphasized their interest in Middle East markets. The firm<br />
identified burdensome registration and licensing procedures, high capital asset requirements,<br />
excessive indemnities, and significant performance guarantees as constraints.<br />
A design firm operating in Lahore, Karachi, Dubai, Manila, and London discussed their joint<br />
venture experience in an unnamed Middle East market. They paid excessive capital<br />
requirements to establish the joint venture. They found the local partner had preferential<br />
standing under domestic law. Once the joint venture became profitable, the local partner<br />
pushed out the Pakistani firm.<br />
An information technology, outsourcing firm explained that "image" was a primary concern.<br />
This resonated with many of the panellists as well as a Pakistani consultant firm interested in<br />
the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Saudi Arabia (acceding to the World Trade<br />
Organization (WTO), Malaysia, Zimbabwe, and France. To work around the problem, the<br />
firms sought to establish offices abroad to portray themselves as global entities.<br />
A panellist explained how from an operational standpoint they use all modes of supply from<br />
marketing, service delivery, to after sales service. For example, their associated offices and<br />
offshore business partners outsource design development work to them via cross-border<br />
supply. They serve numerous foreign clients in Pakistan via consumption abroad. Their<br />
representative office in Dubai exemplifies their use of commercial presence. Their staff travel<br />
to find, market, and serve clients abroad via temporary movement.<br />
The firms identified burdensome visa requirements and non-recognition of professional<br />
credentials as constraints to trade. They believed they would gain from efficient, timely<br />
provision of visas in export markets of interest. The firms highlighted recognition of<br />
professional credentials as a necessity for export expansion.<br />
Energy<br />
Reliable access to sources of electricity is a concern of each service firm. Some companies<br />
build generators themselves due to an absence of reliable, quality electricity. This significantly<br />
increases their cost of doing business and makes them less competitive in the international<br />
market. Discussants emphasized this constraint across service and manufacturing firms. 1<br />
As electricity provision is an obstacle to the growth of Pakistani services firms and in light of<br />
current WTO GATS negotiations on energy services, considered exploration of energy<br />
services proposals is warranted from a private-sector perspective.<br />
Education<br />
When service firms higher new staff they have to invest time and money in increasing the skill<br />
level of the new employees. An IT company adopted a rigorous testing process to ensure new<br />
1<br />
A useful source on the issue is "Energy and Environmental <strong>Services</strong>: Negotiating Objectives and<br />
Development Priorities" published by the UN Council for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published<br />
in 2003 and edited by Simonetta Zarrilli, Economic Affairs Officer, Division on International Trade in<br />
Goods and <strong>Services</strong>, and Commodities, e-mail: HSimonetta.Zarrilli@unctad.orgH.<br />

hires have the quality of skills needed for their responsibilities. The firm found, for example, in<br />
a pool of 150 applicants, they might only identify 5% that are adequately qualified. It may take<br />
the firm six months to train new hires. This increases the firm's cost of doing business and<br />
represents a drag on their competitiveness.<br />
Telecommunications: Access to broadband<br />
Firms identified the need for greater broadband connectivity domestically and with major<br />
foreign international business centres. A second submarine cable is scheduled to open in<br />
October, however domestic connectivity is still an issue. Given Pakistan's relatively recent<br />
telecommunications liberalization, managing the transition to a competitive telecom market<br />
that ensures adequate broadband build out is a high priority. Careful consideration should be<br />
given to post telecom liberalization issues associated with the efficacy of the independent<br />
regulator in overseeing and disciplining new entrants and the incumbent.<br />
Access to financing<br />
Discussants bemoaned the lack of appropriate financing vehicles for service firms. Discussants<br />
noted the difficulty in sourcing venture-capital funds. Participants highlighted the banking<br />
sector's non-recognition of electronic assets such as databases and user information as a basis<br />
for loans. According to a Pakistani transnational, their growth is constrained because<br />
commercial banks do not accept contracts as a lien or collateral. A firm did point out that they<br />
successfully received loans on the basis of projected cash flows.<br />
An associated anecdote explained how a service firm's purchase of electronic assets from<br />
abroad was not recognized by the public agency overseeing international financial transfers.<br />
Because goods did not change hands, the financial payment for the electronic assets was not<br />
released. Consequently the firm had to create a "dummy" package to move through customs<br />
for the release of the funds.<br />
Priority service markets<br />
Service firms emphasized their interest in Middle East markets, including the UAE, Saudi<br />
Arabia (acceding to the WTO), Qatar, as well as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, China,<br />
Afghanistan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Zimbabwe, the EU, and the US.<br />
Additional issues<br />
Firms emphasized their desire for:<br />
• Ensuring government is a facilitator in services market rather than a competitor in certain<br />
sectors. For example, NADRA Technologies, a public entity, competes with private<br />
technology companies.<br />
• Concerted public-sector effort to build Pakistan's image globally.<br />
• Public sector understanding of the nature of services products and the value of electronic<br />
assets.<br />
• Attention to tax burden and its impact on international competitiveness.<br />
International Trade Centre Page 5
• Recognition of the value of the Information Technology Agreement.<br />
• Ensuring national service standards are consistent with international quality and<br />
certification benchmarks.<br />
• Legislative stability and consistency.<br />
• Reduction of domestic "red tape".<br />
• Coordination on services issues across Ministries.<br />
• Support for consistent participation in International Trade Fairs and Expositions.<br />
• Assistance with marketing skills.<br />
• Targeted training in project management and information technology.<br />
• Understanding and obtaining international certification requirements where applicable.<br />
Follow on<br />
The <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Seminar</strong> effectively identified private sector trade interests. Its success was due to<br />
considerable discussion of trade in services principles with the presenters before the gathering.<br />
Speakers were also advised to simply talk about their business operations in plain terms. The<br />
presence of representatives from the Government helped to create a rich exploration of service<br />
interests.<br />

Identification of trade in services<br />
impediments<br />
• A professional service firm is required to partner with local firms<br />
in foreign markets. They find this impedes their ability to grow.<br />
• Potential Obstacle: prescriptive corporate structure<br />
• Request: ability to establish in form of company’s choice<br />
• A construction firm identifies a prospective project in a foreign<br />
market.<br />
• Potential obstacle: bids not open to foreign enterprises<br />
• Request: non-discriminatory treatment<br />
• Financial institution has identified prospective market niche in<br />
foreign country.<br />
• Potential obstacle: product-specific restriction<br />
• Request: elimination of constraint<br />
11<br />
Establishment rules: bottom line for<br />
business<br />
• Where firms locate<br />
• Who and how many employees they hire<br />
• Which clients they serve<br />
• Their scope and type of service products<br />
• How they access capital<br />
• Cost of doing business<br />
• Competitive position<br />

Identification of trade in services<br />
impediments<br />
• W. K. Chan of the Hong Kong Coalition of Service<br />
Industries founded in 1990 representing 50 services<br />
sectors advised:<br />
“We keep in regular contact with our members, conduct<br />
periodic consultations and occasionally cooperate with<br />
academic institutions on studies to identify their interests...<br />
We also maintain close contact with our constituent members<br />
(industry and professional associations) to gauge their<br />
views."<br />
• Consultation, studies, and collaboration are best<br />
practices to elicit export barriers.<br />
13<br />
Identification of trade in services<br />
impediments – Intra-industry consultation<br />
• Undertaking across service firms and industries is a<br />
delicate process.<br />
• Market players can:<br />
• Examine problems found operating in domestic & foreign<br />
markets<br />
• Explain how problems affect business operations<br />
• Consult to determine if there are common obstacles<br />
• Talk to service users such as agriculture and commodity<br />
producers to find common positions<br />
• Commercially significant impediments that are common<br />
to players generally form the basis of consensus<br />
14<br />
Hearings can help identify trade in<br />
servcies constraints<br />
• Valuable "demand pull" device to drive private<br />
sector input<br />
• Individual firms and services associations<br />
participate<br />
• Facilitates parliamentary or inter-ministerial<br />
consideration of services trade issues<br />
Critical to process<br />
15<br />
Articulation of interests: The written word<br />
• Letters to the editor of local newspapers<br />
• Letters to parliamentarians, trade ministers,<br />
regulators or the chief executive<br />
• Testimony for presentation at trade hearings<br />
• Declarations for release at important trade events<br />
• Brief white papers identifying and explaining the<br />
obstacles and their impact on business<br />
• Firms can act independently or in groups to<br />
articulate their interests<br />
16<br />
Articulation of interests: The spoken word<br />
• Meet one-on-one with public representatives to<br />
introduce and explain issues<br />
• Orchestrate symposiums to discuss services<br />
trade issues and attract press attention<br />
• Participate in radio or television talk shows and<br />
leverage the press<br />
Articulation of interests: The structured<br />
“decision-maker meeting”<br />
• Planning strategy<br />
• Anchor spokespeople to explain interests to<br />
public sector representative<br />
• Consensus on key messages<br />
• Provision of trade issue briefing documents<br />
• Request for specific action<br />
• Follow-up<br />
