ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) The government wants to continue the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Programme but it will not compromise on economic development.
Launching the comprehensive roadmap, focusing in the vertical form on 14 special sectors of the economy, to ensure planned, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in the country, Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue Shaukat Tarin said that it was after 1972 that such a strategy was being presented by the government under which short-, medium- and long-term plans were being devised by working groups in consultation with the stakeholders and their implementation would be monitored.
The minister said from September, the performance in these 14 sectors would be monitored and Prime Minister Imran Khan would be given a briefing about the execution of the plans every month.
The exercise was aimed at accelerating the growth rates from 3 per cent to 6 per cent in three years, keeping inflationary expectations subdued, generating employment opportunities, and reducing poverty by strengthening the social safety net.
