Islamabad: Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar asserted that Pakistan is on track to join the G20 by 2030 if current economic progress continues, while vowing to prevent the country from defaulting despite external challenges. Speaking at the foundation-laying ceremony of the Competition Commission of Pakistan’s headquarters in Islamabad, Dar emphasized that the government is committed to overcoming economic hurdles and improving the economy.
He highlighted the stock market’s rise following the integration of stock exchanges and noted that Pakistan, once declared an unstable market in 2013, has since achieved significant economic stability. Dar also praised the Competition Commission’s efforts in protecting consumer rights and stressed the need to strengthen anti-monopoly laws. He expressed optimism about Pakistan’s potential, citing the country’s abundant resources and recent multilateral achievements, and called for collective efforts to ensure continued progress.
