Ali Muhammad Khan (Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs): Pakistan has enormous natural resources and advantages by virtue of its geo-strategic location that can help in boosting economic growth. Economic growth begins with a fundamental policy prism which cannot be devised without having primary data for domestic needs. For that purpose, the census is indispensable as it will help the government in reaching up to the underprivileged sectors of society. No government can devise a plausible public policy without primary data about the population needs and available resources in the country. The long term projects will be then initiated that will have a bourgeoning impact on the economy. All the four economic sectors of Pakistan are embracing economic boom with an unprecedented rise in the exports. The current account deficit left by the previous governments has overburdened the economy and the common man is unable to get benefits directly from the economic growth. The trickle-down might be delayed but will certainly come with an increase in the job opportunities and purchasing power of the public.
