New ministry proposed to generate more dollars

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday said after returning to power, the PTI would create a federal ministry to boost the dollar income and a separate set-up planning and looking for venues to generate greenbacks so that perennial problems can be sorted out. Addressing a webinar, with a rather extended title — From Crisis to Catastrophe: Budget 2023-24 and Plight of Common Pakistan Amidst Economic Tailspin — Mr Khan insisted that the current crisis, as all such situations, also offers an opportunity for surgical economic and governance reforms. “Most of our first tenure was spent saving our majority in a tricky coalition that neither allowed any economic nor governance reforms. Once back in power with better numbers, the PTI plans to get dollar income solve by investment through non-resident Pakistanis, clip exceptionally bloated set-up of governance as short-term measures and promote investment and business as mid-term solutions.
