ISLAMABAD — Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced Wednesday that Pakistan has achieved macroeconomic stability. The country must now pivot toward accelerating Pakistan economic growth, expanding employment opportunities, and raising living standards for ordinary citizens.
Prime Minister Calls for Growth-Oriented Federal Policy
Addressing a meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC), the prime minister urged the federal government to pursue a growth-oriented agenda. This strategic shift comes as Pakistan moves beyond a period of fiscal consolidation.
The announcement signals a new phase in Pakistan’s economic policy. After stabilizing key macroeconomic indicators, the government now aims to deliver tangible benefits to citizens through job creation and improved living standards.
National Economic Council Sets Pakistan’s Economic Direction
The NEC serves as Pakistan’s apex economic policy body. It brings together federal and provincial leadership to set broad economic directions and review development priorities for the nation.
The council’s meetings are crucial for coordinating economic policy across Pakistan’s federal structure. They ensure alignment between Islamabad and provincial governments on key development objectives.
