The government has been urged to cut withholding and income taxes applying to exporters as an urgent measure to boost export growth in the remaining months of 2009.

Next week the Commerce Ministry is to propose a cut in import duties to the Cabinet, as a measure to promote export growth in the second half of the year. (The Nation)
