Despite ongoing regional instability and war-related uncertainties, Pakistan is demonstrating resilience, strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals, and emerging as a credible player in diplomacy, trade, and investment.
According to a post on X by Finance Minister’s Advisor Khurram Schehzad, Pakistan is emerging as a key diplomatic bridge in global conflict, engaging the United States, Iran and Gulf countries to de-escalate tensions.
Highlighting the successful Pakistan-IMF review, he said the programme is on track and reforms are delivering results.
Khurram Schehzad said foreign exchange reserves have been rising for thirty-three consecutive weeks and have reached 21.7 billion dollars.
He said Pakistan’s shipping sector has gained expanded access through the Strait of Hormuz.
He added that Pakistan has strengthened its fuel security buffers, with stock cover improving from 3.5 weeks towards four weeks despite global disruptions.
