Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed gratitude to investors and his economic team on Thursday as the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Index crossed the historic 100,000-point mark for the first time. In a statement from the Prime Minister’s office, Shehbaz attributed this milestone to the growing confidence of investors and the government’s effective economic policies.

The Prime Minister commended the efforts of officials who have been instrumental in promoting investment, highlighting that the government’s strategic decisions, including sacrificing political capital, have successfully steered Pakistan away from the brink of default and revitalized the economy.

Shehbaz noted that inflation is on the decline, interest rates have been reduced to 15 percent, and remittances from overseas Pakistanis have reached record highs. He emphasized his commitment to counter any attempts to disrupt the country’s progress and pledged to maintain the current positive momentum in the economy.
