Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Ishaq Dar has expressed confidence in Pakistan’s economic development, hoping the country will join the G20 by 2030. He emphasised that all regulatory bodies should continue working collaboratively and effectively to accelerate the country’s growth. Mr Dar made these remarks while addressing the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the new headquarters of the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP). He stated that Pakistan could become part of the G20 by 2030 if all regulatory bodies work together. He pointed out that in 2018, Pakistan was ranked as the world’s 24th-largest economy, just four spots away from G20 membership.
