June 21, 2023

The Government has unveiled an elaborate ‘Economic Revival Plan’ with a view to capitalize Pakistan’s untapped potential in key sectors, fast-track the development projects and facilitate investment.

The Plan was unveiled during a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, which was attended by Chief of Army Staff, Chief Ministers, federal and provincial ministers, and other high-level government officials.

The Economic Revival Plan envisages capitalizing Pakistan’s untapped potential in key sectors, including defence production, agriculture, livestock, minerals, mining, information technology and energy, through indigenous development as well as investments from friendly countries.

The meeting was informed that a Special Investment Facilitation Council has been undertaken to fast-track the development of projects. It will act as a ‘Single Window’ interface for potential investors.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said his government inherited an economy which was on the brink of collapse.

However, he said with bold and difficult decisions, it is now being steered towards growth and development.

The Army Chief on his part assured all-out support to complement the government’s Economic Revival Plan.
