All economic indicators positive, inflation decreasing: info minister

Islamabad (Web Desk): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Tuesday said that all economic indicators are positive, with foreign exchange reserves improving, the currency remaining stable and inflation decreasing.

Addressing a news conference in Islamabad today, he regretted that a particular party wants to derail this process. However, he said the party will not succeed in its designs.

The information minister categorically stated that any attempt to disturb the law and order situation will not be tolerated and the law will take its course.

“The economic policy of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is not only in the nation's interest but has also started yielding results, Tarar said, adding that the world community is also endorsing and appreciating the country's economic policy.

Describing the prime minister's visit to the United States (US) as highly successful, the information minister said that PM Shehbaz’ address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) received an unprecedented response, which is an honour for Pakistan.

He said the prime minister forcefully presented the case of Kashmir and Palestine at the world body.

The minister said Pakistani delegation led the walk-out from the UNGA during the speech of the Israeli prime minister. He said the Israeli Prime Minister addressed the empty hall.

Tarar said Pakistan's foreign policy is on a successful trajectory and prime minister's visit to New York is a manifestation of it.

Responding to a question, the information minister said that hosting The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Heads of Government meeting in Islamabad is a matter of honour for Pakistan which will prove to be a milestone for building soft image of Pakistan.
