Reform bureaucracy to save Pakistan

The new Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, has outlined two key areas of focus to address the country’s economic challenges: Economic stability: He has acknowledged the need for another long-term bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to stabilise Pakistan’s fragile economy. However, he has also vowed to eliminate Pakistan’s dependency on the IMF and work towards economic self-sufficiency. Urgent economic recovery plan: He has prioritised Pakistan’s economic revival, focusing on tax relief, fiscal policies, and business support. These plans reflect the prime minister’s commitment to addressing Pakistan’s economic and security challenges. However, the success of these initiatives will depend on their effective implementation and the cooperation of various stakeholders.
