Islamabad: During the World Bank Partnership Framework launch Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared this initiative will enable $20 billion of investments into Pakistan. The framework works over 10 years to develop energy projects and institutional systems plus hydropower and IT industry growth.
The Prime Minister stated that essential reforms should have started long before this time. He was glad that the World Bank believed in Pakistan’s administrative process and kept supporting multiple sectors over time.
