It is also reported that an increasing number of nations are avoiding the US Dollar in favor of conducting international trade using their own respective currencies.
Experts emphasize the need for continued economic reforms and wise fiscal policies to sustain this momentum.
This development might attract international community, and Pakistan is increasingly being seen as an attractive destination for investments.
