PM consults experts to bring financial stability

ISLAMABAD: With the country set to approach the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a fresh programme, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday decided to include global experts and all stakeholders in a consultative process aimed at improving the country’s economic health and financial stability. Chairing a meeting on economic revival and reforms, the PM said he would oversee the implementation of these economic reforms himself. “The prime minister wants to take advantage of the experience of economic experts working in both, the public and private sector,” Information Minister Attaullah Tarar told Dawn after the meeting. Quoting the example of Dr Ijaz Nabi, whose services could be utilised as he had already done a lot of work in the social sector in Punjab, he said the prime minister was of the view that experts from the private sector should also be taken on board.
