Economic stability not possible without political stability
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that economic stability is not possible without political stability.
Addressing the Pre-budget Seminar on Business, IT, and Agriculture in Islamabad on Tuesday, the prime minister while reiterating his call for a Charter of Economy, has urged all the stakeholders concerned to join hands in formulating an unalterable policy framework to make the country achieve agro-based and export-oriented growth.
He said the enhancement of exports and agricultural yield, and financial management should be the major components of the plan.
PM Shehbaz said the government will form task force on agriculture and exports for formulating comprehensive plans in this regard.
The conference gathered agriculturists, information technology experts, businessmen, investors and agriculturalists from across the country who shared their proposals with the government relating to their respective areas.

The conference gathered agriculturists, information technology experts, businessmen, investors and agriculturalists from across the country who shared their proposals with the government relating to their respective areas. “All of us will have to move collectively. The government will need guidance from the stakeholders and experts. The govt will form task force on agriculture and exports for formulating comprehensive plans,” he said.
The prime minister said owing to the limited time, the incumbent government was focusing short- and medium-term plans. Citing the successful economic growth of Bangladesh, he said being rich with immense resources, human talent and dedication, Pakistan could also achieve excellence through efficiency and modern techniques. He thanked the experts for giving their input during over six-hour long session.
The prime minister said owing to the non-execution of plans, Pakistan lagged behind while the other nations like India excelled by following its development plans. He said in 1991, Pakistan’s rupee was stringer than the India currency but in current scenario, there was no comparison. He said Pakistan lagged behind because the development plans remained unexecuted. “It is up to the government to execute these suggestions. We have to convert them into reality. This will not be realized until there is a political stability,” he remarked.
