Chairing the weekly meeting on the promotion of a cashless economy, the Prime Minister directed that the relevant committees should formulate workable proposals in collaboration with the partners so that digital payments can be made popular.
The meeting was informed that the State Bank is working on a strategy to facilitate digital payments, while the Digital Economy Project has been started under the Digital National Pakistan project.
