Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated the nation on this remarkable achievement, describing it as a testament to the confidence of investors and businesses in the government’s efforts.

“This milestone reflects the faith of the business community and investors in our policies,” said Sharif. He applauded the economic team for their dedication to fostering investment and emphasized that the government’s sacrifices to prevent default were bearing fruit.

Sharif attributed the stock market’s resurgence to the departure of what he termed as “anarchist elements” and vowed to protect the nation’s stability and progress.

The Prime Minister highlighted other positive economic indicators, including a drop in inflation, a stable interest rate of 15%, and record-high remittances.
