*  *  *  Resilience of Pakistan’s economy in the face of unforeseen global and multiple domestic shocks has been a subject of debate – proponents of outgoing Government arguing that it has strengthened, while opponents criticize the state of the economy. In these circumstances, I propose to provide a neutral, unbiased and economic reasoning for why and where we stand today?
I encourage Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) to further investigate and provide a professional economic perspective on the economy with the objective of feeding properly into policy advice.
