The Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC) is going to meet in Islamabad on September, 11. In spite of the fact that the IPI gas agreement is still being under completion that is greatly influenced by the US geopolitical interests, ECC is planning to allow the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) to get some money for construction directly from gas consumers.
Other questions discussed on the meeting will be request for additional amount for import of urea from Saudi Arabia, exemption from allied taxes and customs duties on import of weapon and ammunition for civil armed forces.
