IMF program is vital for stability of economy: PM

ISLAMABAD
Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif has said IMF program is essential for stability of the economy.
“IMF program is necessary for the stability of economy. If economy is weak then no one pays heed. If we don’t carry begging bowl even then they say begging bowl in under their armpit. There is mountain of loans on Pakistan and we pay salaries out of loans and execute development work. Providing better environment to tax payers is priority of government. We will have to abide by the principles of Quaid-e-Azam to rid of loans. Doing business is not business of governments. Government has to extend help to the private sector in collaboration with the provincial governments. Youths are our valuable asset. We will have to make them skilled. Ghaza ceasefire resolution should be implemented at every cost. Pakistan will continue to extend help to the oppressed Palestinians, he said this while addressing Tax Excellence Award ceremony here Tuesday.
He held the adoption of resolution in UN SECURITY Council (UNSC) with reference to ceasefire in Ghaza is good omen. Israel is perpetrating the worst barbarity in Ghaza. Implementation of ceasefire resolution is very important. He went on to say the tax payers are great heroes and national architects . They scaled up exports. The motive behind this ceremony is to give message to nation that the government and private sector have to work together for development of the country. We have to end the red tapism. The decision making process have to be accelerated.
He stressed that we will have to provide business friendly environment to address economic challenges. Federal government has to work along with the provinces. All the governments are equally responsible for the mistakes committed in the past.
All the award recipients deserve for congratulations.
Doing business is not business of government, he said adding We will have to encourage private sector . If our economy is fortified then the voice of nation will be fortified. If economy weakens then no one pays heed to the weak. Government and private sectors are two wheels of one train to face economic challenges.
