If I examine the findings of this Report in light of what we have tried to do in Pakistan during the last five years we can proudly claim that we have made strides in fostering and ensuring a stable domestic macroeconomic environment, taken initiative in building physical and social infrastructure, and made serious endeavors to ensure a level playing field for all economic players whether large or small, domestic or foreign.
It is likely, therefore, that the pace of capital investment in oil production and the associated infrastructure will be slower than had been anticipated before the global oil price fall. The uncertainty about the future path of oil prices will also have implications for private investment decisions in the non oil sectors of the economy. Oil revenues expand the national income of a country.
