Economic stability not possible without political stability and vice versa: Shehbaz Sharif

Islamabad (HRNW) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said that economic stability in Pakistan is not possible without political stability.

Addressing the pre-budget conference convened by the government in Islamabad, the prime minister said that political stability was also not possible without economic stability and this was the reason he was calling for a Charter of Economy.

All the stakeholders must come and sit to finalize a charter of economy, the prime minister said adding that people may elect anyone to power but the goals state must never change.

There must be an improvement but not change until the doomsday, he said.

Shehbaz Sharif called for agro-based industrial investment in the country.

The prime minister said that agriculture is one area that can turn around Pakistan’s fortune.

He said that Pakistan must increase agricultural yield through modern techniques.

The prime minister said that Bangladesh excelled in textile exports though the country imports cotton from other nations while Pakistan is a cotton-producing country.

He lamented the fact that the depth of Gwadar port had dropped without it operating at full capacity.

The prime minister urged the participants of the conference, including businesspersons and industrialists, to help the government chart out a strategy.
