Businessmen advocate strategic reforms

Pakistan Business Forum (PBF) has urged Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb to outline a clear and actionable roadmap for 2025 including the strategic reforms targeted at enhancing Pakistan's business environment. The forum expressed concern that current economic policies were falling short of portraying Pakistan as a business-friendly nation and stressed the importance of boosting investor confidence to stimulate growth and development. PBF President Khawaja Mehboobur Rehman, in a letter sent to the finance minister, stated that as 2024 was drawing to a close, "we are concerned about the several persistent challenges that have yet to see tangible improvements".
