Prime Minister Imran Khan described the last three years of the existing government as a “economic success tale.”
The prime minister said Pakistan performed extraordinarily well in tackling the Covid pandemic in comparison to other regional countries while chairing a meeting of the Macro Economic Advisory Group in Islamabad.
He claimed that the government’s policies of smart lockdown, incentives for the construction industry, social protection programmes, and subsidies for industries, small and medium enterprises kept the national economy developing consistently.
Prime Minister Khan bemoaned the fact that his government inherited a massive circular debt, anti-export policies, unsustainable fiscal conditions, a less competitive economic environment, and policies that limit private sector incentives.
