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 />

• 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 />

• 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 />
