Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Supremo Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday expressed optimism regarding the country’s economic outlook, stating that the recent decline in inflation signifies an improvement in the national economy.
In a meeting with members of the Punjab Assembly in Lahore, Nawaz Sharif along with Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz discussed the country's overall situation, development initiatives in Punjab, and the ongoing projects.
Mr Sharif emphasised that the decrease in inflation is a sign that Pakistan is no longer on the downward trajectory it had once been pushed toward.
"The decline in inflation points to economic stabilisation," he remarked, adding that it is a welcoming development for the nation’s future.
He also praised Maryam Nawaz for her leadership in Punjab, stating that she surpasses her role as the chief minister by working with the spirit of both a mother and a daughter.
"Maryam Nawaz is serving the people of Punjab with immense dedication, driven by her motherly love and passion for public welfare," Nawaz Sharif remarked.
“Shehbaz Sharif is focused on improving the federal government’s performance and ensuring that Allah’s guidance is with those who work diligently for the people,” he added.
Former prime minister stated that the increasing pace of development efforts across the country is a strong indicator of a positive shift.
The PML-N supremo also pointed to the recent rise in the stock exchange as evidence of the growing confidence from both the business and investment communities.
