Having achieved macroeconomic stability in Pakistan, the government is now focused on attaining higher, sustainable and inclusive economic growth, Mr Dar said.
He said Pakistan is focused on the promotion of financial and digital inclusion in the country. Pakistan has a liberal investment regime, he said, while inviting German companies to invest in the country, particularly in the automotive and photovoltaic (PV) cell sectors. He said German companies should explore the opportunities available in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs).
The German minister acknowledged Pakistan’s economic success over the last three and a half years. He appreciated Pakistan’s efforts to overcome the challenges of terrorism and extremism.
