Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Saturday stressed the importance of continuity in the country’s economic policy, saying it should be consistent regardless of the government in power.
Last month, the business community, including the Pakistan Business Council and Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, also highlighted the need for long-term economic policies, linking them with political stability.
Speaking to reporters at the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) in Karachi today, Aurangzeb said, “When we talk about the charter of economy, it does not matter which administration comes in … the government’s role is policy framework but even more important is policy continuity.”
He said more investment was coming into the country and the existing level of investment was “fantastic”. He said that the economy was moving in the right direction.
