Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday thanked investors and his economic team for helping Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Index cross historic 100,000 points for the first time in history.
According to a statement issued by the premier’s office, Shehbaz attributed growing confidence from investors and the government’s economic policies to achieving the milestone.
The Prime Minister commended the efforts of officials driving investment promotion and reiterated that his government’s measures on sacrificing political capital have steered Pakistan away from the brink of default and turned things around.
The premier said inflation was declining, interest rates had fallen to 15 percent and overseas Pakistanis had sent record-high remittances. The premier vowed to counter any attempts to derail progress and committed to maintaining the prevalent momentum.
