As part of its efforts to mitigate these challenges, the Chamber emphasized the importance of not postponing loan installments for individuals, as was done during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Chamber believes that postponing loan installments could lead to negative consequences, such as increased repayments, making it difficult for traders and consumers to settle their debts.

The Chamber also discussed the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on essential commodities, such as cooking oil, rice, sugar, and pulses, due to export bans and supply chain disruptions.

To address these challenges, the Chamber suggested the possibility of reducing the sales tax rate and unifying customs and tax rates at 5 percent for all sectors to reduce smuggling and boost investment.
