Islamabad: Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has said that the structural reforms, digitalisation and tariff changes carried out by the government have provided stability to Pakistan’s economy.
During the press conference, the Finance Minister said that international financial institutions have appreciated Pakistan’s economic reforms, while the introduction of the digital system has brought significant ease to the daily lives of the people.
He said that as a result of financial discipline and better debt planning, savings of Rs 6 to 700 billion have been possible, which is a significant development for the country’s economy.
According to the Finance Minister, the overall performance of the Pakistan Stock Exchange in 2025 was excellent, while 16 new IPOs are expected during 2026, which will further expand the capital market.
He termed the privatisation of the national airline as a major achievement of the reform agenda, saying that this move has reduced the government burden and increased transparency.
According to economic analysts, digital reforms and possible IPOs are positive signals for the capital market; however, they emphasise that the continuation of reforms and stability in policies will be indispensable for investor confidence.
