He said some ten to 12 years back, Pakistan faced the darkest years of its history and it was to the government’s fresh and result-oriented economic policies now, he said, that the country was able to make profits giving the right signal to globally investors.

The premier alleged that nationalisation of state institutions sent shockwaves to the country’s economy in the past but their performance improved when the centre privatised them.

He said the government still feels that the institutions in Pakistan needed to be taken to another level by helping them enhance their performance.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif along with Finance Minister Senator Ishaq Dar and Senator Nihal Hashmi later presented awards to the best-performing companies at the event.

He said the government would give short, medium and long-term benefits to exporters so that no segment misses obtaining the growth targets.

“We cannot afford to ignore our exports,” he said and added, economic growth and exports were interlinked.
