As Pakistan’s political temperature continues to rise, the business community has proposed a much-needed discourse among all political partners. The proposal aims to create a roadmap for political and economic stability in the country.
With the future of Pakistan hanging in the balance, the call for collaboration has never been more crucial. In a statement, Pakistan Businesses Forum (PBF) Vice President Chaudhry Ahmad Jawad stated that the proposed move would help Pakistan make progress and ease the lives of the masses.
“It’s the ideal opportunity for a more noteworthy discourse among political partners to foster agreement on a methodology to direct Pakistan out of present economic unrest,” he added. Pakistan’s economy has been in a state of constant flux, with the value of the dollar and the interest rate on the rise, while politicians fight for their interests.
President of the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI) said that political tension should be ended to save the economy from destruction. “It is imperative to increase exports on a priority basis so that foreign exchange reserves also increase along with the increase in income,” he added. According to Dr Abid Qaiyum Suleri, a former member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Committee, the ongoing political power struggle and inconsistent approach to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) program are causing a lack of trust between the business community and the government, as well as between the government and the international community.
