ISLAMABAD: The country’s economy is moving on right track because of prudent economic policies of the government despite challenges on different fronts. According to Radio Pakistan quoting a report of Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, major economic indicators have shown positive signs of sustainable growth owing to improved foreign exchange reserves, workers’ remittances and increased investment.
A considerable increase has been witnessed in large scale manufacturing, foreign remittances and stock market besides bringing down the inflation to single digit, the report added.
