Int’l financial institutions start giving incentives to Pakistan: Hafeez

Adviser to Prime Minister on Finance and Revenue Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh has said that  international financial institutions have started giving incentives to Pakistan in the wake of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Speaking in a private TV programme, he said the government gave a stimulus package in the current situation and has allowed the construction sector to work to boost economic activity and generate employment opportunities.

He said we will have to make big decisions in the agriculture sector soon including improvement in seeds, agri machinery and others. The adviser said the government has already passed on the benefit of declining oil prices to the public and these will be further reduced next month.
