PM vowed to provide enabling environment and maximum facilitation to businessmen.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that while it was the government’s responsibility to provide an enabling environment and maximum facilitation, the economic progress of the country was linked with the business community’s performance and output.

On his Twitter handle, the prime minister referred to his interaction with the business community during his meetings with Karachi Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Pakistan Business Council earlier today.

He said it was his message that being captains of trade and industry, they needed to raise the bar high and unlock the vast untapped economic potential through entrepreneurship, innovation and bold thinking.

He said that he listed the steps his government took over the course of 16 months to stabilize the economy, fix the energy shortages, improve financial governance and laid the foundation-stone for economic turnaround under the Special Investment Facilitation Council framework.

The Prime Minister said there is no denying the fact that our business community has performed against serious odds. Their resilience in the face of the challenges is something that we are proud of.

He said that his idea of national development is inclusive, which is marked by a participatory approach, one to which all stakeholders can contribute.

Shehbaz Sharif said that he is convinced that the solution to our problem lies in achieving economic self-reliance.
