The discussion focused on Pakistan\u2019s economic outlook and the perspectives of foreign investors operating in the country.<br \/>\nOICCI President Mr. Yousaf Hussain acknowledged the progress achieved in macroeconomic stabilisation. Fiscal consolidation is strengthening, primary balance discipline is improving, the external account has stabilised with reserve buffers rebuilding, inflation is moderating, and the financial sector remains resilient. The recent improvement in Pakistan\u2019s credit ratings reflects enhanced fiscal discipline and renewed international credibility under the ongoing reform programme.<br \/>\nWhile recognising these gains, Mr. Hussain emphasised, \u201cThe priority now is to transition from stabilisation to a phased yet sustained export-led growth path. Translating macroeconomic stability into higher productivity, employment, and investment requires a shift from fragmented measures to a centrally coordinated, technocrat-supported and well-sequenced medium-term reform programme under a comprehensive National Economic Plan. Such a plan should integrate fiscal, trade, industrial, energy, and human capital policies with clear milestones, transparent monitoring, and deeper coordination between the federation and provinces to achieve national economic priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI The Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OICCI) convened a dialogue between a visiting International Monetary Fund (IMF) delegation, led by Iva Petrova and Mahir Binici, and CEOs of leading member multinational companies.
