contents <p>The Pakistan textile industry contributes more than 60 percent (US $ 9.6 billion) to the<br>country’s total exports. However, currently this industry is facing great decline in its<br>growth rate. The major reasons for this decline can be the global recession, internal security<br>concerns, the high cost of production due to increase in the energy costs etc. Depreciation<br>of Pakistani rupee that significantly raised the cost of imported inputs, rise in inflation rate,<br>and high cost of financing has also effected seriously the growth in the textile industry. As<br>a result neither the buyers are able to visit frequently Pakistan nor are the exporters able to<br>travel abroad for effectively marketing their products. With an in-depth investigation it was<br>found that the Pakistan’s textile industry can once again be brought back on winning track<br>if government takes serious actions in removing or normalizing the above mentioned<br>hurdles. Additionally, the government should provide subsidy to the textile industry,<br>minimize the internal dispute among the exporters, withdraw the withholding and sales<br>taxes etc. Purchasing new machinery or enhancing the quality of the existing machinery<br>and introducing new technology can also be very useful in increasing the research &<br>development (R & D) related activities that in the modern era are very important for<br>increasing the industrial growth of a country. </p>
