Vice Chancellor of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE), Dr. Nadeem ul Haque has said that Pakistan, a nation steadfast in its commitment to overcoming economic and governance challenges, is poised to embark on a transformative journey towards sustainable national development. In his opening remarks at the Third Think Tank Moot hosted by PIDE, Dr Nadeem ul Haque said that recognizing the urgency of comprehensive reforms as the bedrock of progress, Pakistan seeks to revitalize its economic outlook, enhance its business environment, and elevate its global trade standing.
Dean of PIDE, Dr. Shujaat Farooq provided background on the Think Tank Moot, highlighting its role as a unique platform for esteemed partners and thought leaders to collectively address transformative and sustainable reforms. The Moot fosters the exchange of intellectual capital and actionable strategies, transcending individual efforts to leave a profound impact on policymaking. It will culminate in regular meet-ups, allowing each think tank the opportunity to present their agendas, engage in discussions, and forge a consensus on reform priorities.
The discussions at the event revolved around critical reform areas, with each think tank contributing insights and ideas enriched by innovative strategies and approaches. PIDE’s researchers presented compelling briefings on “Catalyzing Inclusive Economic Growth via Structural Reforms” and “Optimizing Governance for Effective Policy Execution and Impact Evaluation.”
Participants emphasized that in today’s world, having ideas means having access to funds, extending to politics and governance.
