ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, said that Pakistan has reached a critical turning point, with macroeconomic stability, sustained reforms, and policy continuity restoring confidence and steering the economy towards export-led, long-term growth.
In an interview with USA Today, the minister said this was opening new horizons for domestic and global investors, and positioning the country for sustainable, long-term economic growth.
He said this transition has been enabled by macroeconomic stabilisation, easing inflation and improved external balances, with the government driving export-led, productivity-based growth through structural reforms, sustaining reform momentum despite challenges, and actively encouraging global investment in emerging opportunities across agriculture, minerals, technology and climate resilience.
Aurangzeb highlighted that Pakistan has entered the fiscal year 2025 from a position of renewed strength, marked by macroeconomic stability, improving external balances, and a firm commitment to structural reform.
He noted that, for the first time in several years, Pakistan has achieved both a primary fiscal surplus and a current account surplus, signalling a decisive shift away from the cycle of recurring deficits. Strong remittance inflows have played a critical role in supporting this turnaround, while inflation has fallen sharply from a peak of 38 percent to single-digit levels
