PM Shehbaz Calls for Shift to Growth and Job Creation in Economic Strategy

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday emphasized the urgent need for Pakistan to transition from economic stabilization to a focus on sustainable growth, job creation, and export promotion. He highlighted the successful restoration of macroeconomic stability achieved through collaborative efforts among federal and provincial governments and financial institutions.

Speaking virtually at the gong ceremony in Karachi to celebrate the listing of the Naya Nazimabad Apartment REIT scheme, Sharif praised the joint initiatives that have helped steer the economy out of severe challenges. He noted that these efforts are crucial for fostering an environment conducive to economic expansion and employment opportunities.

The Prime Minister’s remarks come in the wake of his recent discussions with international bankers and financial leaders in New York and London, where he sought to bolster foreign investment and economic partnerships. This shift in focus is expected to resonate positively with citizens, as it aims to enhance living standards through increased job opportunities and a more robust export sector.

Looking ahead, the government plans to convene further meetings with stakeholders in the financial sector to outline specific strategies for achieving these economic goals. The Prime Minister’s call for action reflects a broader commitment to not only stabilize but also invigorate the economy in the coming months.
