The World Bank has reaffirmed commitment to continue its collaboration with Pakistan to navigate economic challenges.

This commitment was made by a World Bank delegation of Executive Directors that called on Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in Islamabad today.

The delegation appreciated the government's reform agenda, noting that key economic measures were already yielding visible results. It emphasized that Pakistan's structural reforms are critical in fostering long-term economic stability and sustainable growth.

On his part, the Minister reaffirmed the government's commitment towards privatization efforts and pledged to ensure a business-friendly environment where the private sector takes the lead in driving economic growth.

He specifically thanked the delegation for the new Country Partnership Framework 2026-35, which was formally launched last month with an unprecedented twenty billion dollars commitment to support Pakistan's development priorities.
