Dar said that we should not be afraid of difficult times rather it is the time to work together
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz leader and Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has reiterated that due to the IMF agreements by the previous government, we are bound by the commitments already made and have to prepare the budget accordingly.
Speaking to the media, Ishaq Dar said that international financial institutions were praising Pakistan's economic performacne in the previous PML-N tenure. Whenever Pakistan’s financial devastation starts ameliorating, some unpredicted setback drags the country back to square one. We should not indulge in blame game but rather work for the country’s progress and prosperity.
He said that our government has made the most difficult decisions and we are working tirelessly to revive the national economy. We should not be afraid of difficult times and neither should worry about the uncertainty, instead it is the time to work together for the betterment of the country, Dar said.
Ishaq Dar further added that the economies do not work like a switch that can be turned on or off instantly rather it would take time to improve the economic devastation. Everyone knows that the economy is facing difficulties, and we have to make steps according to the current conditions. The government is thriving to make the budget people and business-friendly.
