Economy on right track as inflation eases: FM Aurangzeb

Pakistan’s economy is showing signs of stabilisation with inflation on a downward trend, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said on Saturday, crediting recent policy decisions for restoring confidence.

Speaking to traders at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce, Aurangzeb said the recent reduction in the central bank’s policy rate has played a pivotal role in promoting economic recovery.

“The economy is heading in the right direction,” he said. “We are committed to supporting industry and ensuring that investors receive all necessary facilities. The business community’s concerns must be prioritised.”

He added that industrial growth was essential for sustained economic stability, and that the government’s economic team was focused on enabling productivity through lower input costs and structural reforms.
