Good News - Pakistan
Pakistan has been ranked fifth in the list of world’s top cement exporters. According to the Global Cement Report, China ranks first with 26mn tonnes in exports, followed by Japan (12mn tones), Thailand and Turkey. Pakistan overtook Germany by exporting 11mn tonnes of cement during last fiscal year.
Germany now stands at the sixth position with 9mn tonnes exports. Irfan Amanullah, chief financial officer of Attock Cement Limited said Pakistan secured this position because of high demand and by capturing new markets. He said Pakistan could increase exports to 14mn tonnes by the end of the fiscal year if the government provided better infrastructure facilities.
