Reforms and Transparency Driving Economic Revival, Says Prime Minister
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has reaffirmed his government’s commitment to transforming Pakistan into a regional hub for investment through economic reforms, transparency, and alignment with global economic standards.
Chairing a high-level meeting on economic strategy, foreign investment, and development projects, the premier said that putting Pakistan’s economy on a stable, long-term foundation is a top priority. The session reviewed the country’s overall economic outlook, progress on foreign direct investment (FDI), and major ongoing and proposed development initiatives.
“Our reform-driven and transparent approach is guiding the economy in a positive direction,” Shehbaz stated. “Pakistan is back on the path to growth and development.”
Private Sector to Play Central Role in Economic Strategy
The Prime Minister stressed that the private sector must be at the center of economic planning, directing ministries and institutions to provide full facilitation to international investors. “Their participation must be ensured at all levels,” he said.
Highlighting recent economic gains, Shehbaz said that foreign investor confidence is rebounding. The government aims to build on this momentum by expanding trade, creating job opportunities, and strengthening public welfare programmes.
The meeting was also briefed on key projects in energy, infrastructure, IT, and industrial development, which are being positioned as core drivers of long-term growth.
Senior leaders in attendance included Deputy PM Ishaq Dar, Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, and ministers from defence, commerce, energy, law, and other sectors.
