Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal says stability and continuity of policies can remove the impediments of economic growth.

He was addressing a ceremony in connection with the launch of study "Pakistan at 2050" by UNFPA and Population Council in Islamabad.

The Minister commended the UNFPA and Population Fund for producing the study as it provides a detailed analysis of the recent census results.

He further said that the report gives future direction along with the tools needed to solve upcoming challenges related to population growth.

Ahsan Iqbal stressed the need to devolve the powers to lower levels as it is essential to improve the governance system.
