ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif chaired the inaugural review meeting of the private-sector committee formed to accelerate Pakistan’s industrial development, reaffirming that sustainable economic growth and job creation are impossible without a strong industrial base.
During the session, the committee presented detailed policy recommendations aimed at boosting industrial output, improving competitiveness and attracting investment.
The prime minister welcomed the proposals, stressing that facilitating business and expanding investment remain top priorities of the government.
PM Shehbaz noted that input from the private sector carries “critical importance” for shaping an effective industrial policy.
He appreciated the business community for preparing the recommendations with “remarkable hard work and clarity,” adding that all proposals would be thoroughly examined and integrated into a national policy framework.
He acknowledged the role of Pakistani businesses in supporting government policies during challenging economic periods and helping the country navigate past crises. “With the grace of Allah, Pakistan’s economic trajectory has begun to improve—but we still have much more hard work ahead,” he remarked.
The prime minister directed relevant authorities to conduct a detailed review of the recommendations and to develop an implementation plan, combining them with proposals from other economic sectors to build a unified national policy framework.
