Turning towards economic situation of the country, the Prime Minister said it is heading towards stability and positive direction.

He said the government saved Pakistan from default and put economy back on right track. He said we signed a stand-by agreement with the International Monetary Fund and few days back, the IMF also approved seven billion dollars under Extended Fund Facility program for Pakistan.

The prime minister said he met with the MD IMF and President World Bank in New York, in which they lauded the economic development of Pakistan and the government measures in this connection.

The Prime Minister particularly thanked friendly countries Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and China for playing a significant role and extending support to Pakistan in reaching agreement with the IMF.

He said inflation has dropped to 9.4 percent which was at 32 percent during the same period last year. The State Bank of Pakistan has cut policy rate which is now at 17 percent, while prices of commodities are also stable.
