ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said the country ispoised to become a progressive and moderate state following the landslidevictory of PTI in the general elections.
Now, the US, India and European Union should also change their attitudetowards our country as global and regional stability is linked to thestability of Pakistan, it said.
“International lenders like IMF, World Bank, Asian Development Bank shouldalso alter their position which is in their best interest,” said PresidentPEW, Dr Murtaza Mughal.
He said that PTI has many seasoned politicians having experience ofhandling foreign affairs but it should not delay the announcement of theirfinance minister to infuse confidence in the encouraged and jubilantbusiness community.
Dr Murtaza Mughal said that the economic matters should get as muchimportance as the political matters for the sake of political and economicstability which was missing since long.
Politics and economics should not be mixed, rather keeping economicsinsulated from political issues would be a great success of the newgovernment.
He said that expectations are running high, therefore, the economicmanagers of PTI will have to work hard to improve the situation.
Dr Mughal said that State Bank, FBR and the Planning Commission should bemade independent of political meddling and an immediate action should beinitiated against those who have hidden their wealth abroad.
He said that the tax amnesty scheme has started attracting more peopleafter elections while FBR has earned 2.5 billion in just one day,therefore, it should be extended in the national interest.
