and Pakistan needs a continued stable democracy for sustained economic growth to cope with
multiple challenges.

he said, adding that politics of confrontation and violence has never been a solution to any
problem.
Meher argued that time has changed, now the influential nations are paying more attention
towards financial warfare to maintain their dominance. "These countries are successfully
using their techniques of economic destruction to weaken the poor nations to achieve their
unholy designs while Pakistan’s economy is not strong enough to withstand economic terrorism,"
he observed.
The Coordinator said, it is indeed important to increase exports for which Pakistan needs
to reduce the cost of doing business to make its products competitive in world market.

to remove all the bottle necks and create the culture of trade facilitation. He also called
for consistency in the government policies and a clear economic roadmap to move upon.

strengthening the economy while the government should introduce reforms and control
the smuggling of raw material and finished goods.
