February 11, 2025

Dr Ali Salman (Economist):  The government has taken several tangible measures to improve national economy. These steps have started producing results in the form of improved economic indicators of almost all sectors. These measures taken by the government have brought down inflation rate as well as lowered the interest rates by the State Bank of Pakistan. Moreover, we have seen significant development and progress in other areas of economic sector as a result of these steps. However, it is imperative for sustainable economic development that economic growth should be led by the enhanced exports, economic reforms, institutional commitment and conducive environment for investment.  Yesterday Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif while speaking in Lahore wished to reduce the tax rate. It means that everyone in the government has deep realization of high tax rates on businesses.
