KARACHI - Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said Sunday that the country is moving towards economic stability and 2022 would be the year of country’s progress.
He claimed this while talking to media persons after condoling with leader Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Alamgir Khan, over death of his father Dilawan Khan here at his residence.
Fawad said independent and autonomous State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) was in the interest of the country’s economy. The Federal Minister said there was no other option they had to return a loan of US $ 55 billion in next five years. He alleged that currency notes were printed in bulks during Pakistan Muslim League (PML) era under the directives of former finance minister Ishaq Dar which damaged the economy badly. He said that the finance bill would be passed in the National Assembly within next few days.

Fawad said rates of commodities had gone up in Pakistan due to increasing price hike in the international market. He said in past the agriculture sector was ignored by previous regimes but the PTI government had taken particular initiatives to boast the sector which resulted in five bumper crops and farmers received revenue over Rs1100 billion.
