Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has said that Pakistan’s economic indicators are continuously improving and inflation has fallen to the lowest level in the country’s history.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the Finance Minister said that the government has taken several important steps to stabilise the economy, control inflation and promote investment, which are showing positive results.
He said that in 2025, the country faced the worst floods, but the government relied on internal resources instead of seeking immediate assistance from international organisations despite the difficult situation. According to him, investor confidence has been restored thanks to economic reforms.
The Finance Minister said that due to economic improvement, Pakistan paid off several loans on time, while the performance of the Pakistan Stock Exchange also improved significantly in 2025.
He said that the privatisation of the national airline was a major success of the government, while financial savings and better planning of loans made it possible to save Rs 600 to 700 billion.
According to economists, the reduction in inflation and the improved performance of the stock market are indications of the restoration of confidence; however, they say that employment opportunities and expansion in the production sector will be the next important step.
