Chairing a high-level meeting on the national economy and foreign investment, the prime minister said stabilising Pakistan’s economy on a “strong and sustainable foundation” was his government’s top priority. He emphasised that the private sector must play a central role in planning and executing economic activities.
Shehbaz directed relevant ministries and institutions to ensure full facilitation for international investors, adding that the government’s ongoing economic and financial reforms were already restoring investor confidence. He noted that the recent upward trend in macroeconomic indicators reflected growing optimism among global investors.

The meeting reviewed ongoing and proposed projects in the energy, infrastructure, information technology, and industrial sectors. The prime minister stressed that promoting trade, alongside investment, remained a cornerstone of his government’s economic agenda.
He further said all available investment opportunities would be utilised to boost public welfare, generate employment, and strengthen the economic foundation of the country.
