The Prime Minister said that the overall economic outlook of the country is encouraging. He stated that exports have crossed 25 billion dollars while foreign remittances during the last financial year will be more than 11 billion dollars. He further stated that the production of wheat during the Rabi season would ensure food security and also bring prosperity in the rural areas.
While appreciating the Government’s consistent policies, Ch Pervaiz Elahi said that despite the devastating floods of last year which caused 10 billion dollars’ loss and economic losses due to war against terror, the country has shown a remarkable resilience. He hoped that the economic performance during the financial year 2011-12 would be much better and help to recoup last year’s damages. SANA
