Pakistan’s Path to Economic Recovery: Reflections from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
Recently, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shared some encouraging news about Pakistan’s economic stability and growth prospects during an interaction with overseas Pakistanis at the Pakistan High Commission in London. He emphasized that, thanks to sincerity, hard work, and teamwork, the country is now on a trajectory toward improvement. This upbeat message resonates with many, especially in the face of challenges that have tested the nation’s resilience.
Sharif expressed a renewed sense of dignity and respect for Pakistan on the global stage, supported by recent gains in economic stability and foreign relations. He underscored the importance of unity and cooperation among Pakistanis to overcome difficulties, a sentiment that many citizens appreciate at this critical juncture in history.
One of the notable aspects of his recent speeches, particularly at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), was his commitment to addressing core issues affecting not only Pakistan but also the broader Muslim world, namely Kashmir and Palestine. His assertion that "Kashmir will get its freedom one day" is a powerful rallying cry that resonates deeply with those concerned about these injustices.
Moreover, discussions with international leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump, have opened avenues for better bilateral ties and collaborative efforts on pressing issues like the situation in Gaza. Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar highlighted that Sharif’s representation at the UNGA was both effective and impactful, echoing the sentiments of many who praised his focus on key geopolitical issues.
From an economic standpoint, Dar noted that the government has made substantial strides since averting a potential economic default in 2022. Interest rates have remarkably decreased from 22% to 11%, and inflation has been curbed from 30% to just 5%. These figures not only reflect the administration’s efforts toward stabilization but also help to restore confidence among investors and citizens alike.
During these discussions, overseas Pakistanis praised PM Sharif’s ability to articulate issues of national significance on such prominent platforms, celebrating what many called one of the most listened-to speeches at the UNGA. This connection with the diaspora speaks volumes about the shared pride and concerns within the Pakistani community.
