Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has instructed all ministries to urgently prepare recommendations for investment and development projects, declaring investor facilitation the government’s top priority.

Chairing a high-level meeting in Islamabad, the prime minister reviewed progress on economic reforms, rising investment, and proposed development projects. He emphasized that effective implementation of economic governance policies rooted in reforms is indispensable for sustainable growth.

Call for practical steps

PM Sharif sought practical steps and comprehensive strategy proposals from relevant ministries, with a minimum implementation timeframe. He underlined that timely execution, not just planning, would determine the success of reform-driven projects.

The prime minister directed that special importance be given to proposals and development projects aimed at increasing exports. He said export-led initiatives should be treated as a central pillar of Pakistan’s economic recovery and long-term stability.

Strong push for investor facilitation

Shehbaz reiterated that ensuring institutional and administrative facilities for the convenience of investors remains the government’s top priority. He asked ministries to submit recommendations to provide additional facilities to both foreign and domestic investors.

He instructed relevant ministries to extend effective cooperation through Pakistani embassies abroad to facilitate foreign investors. He said coordinated efforts at home and overseas were essential to build investor confidence.

Stressing inclusive development, the prime minister said equal attention must be given to industrial production, agriculture, and all other sectors to boost overall investment. He noted that balanced sectoral growth would strengthen economic resilience.
