Deloitte pledges support for economic goals

A high-level delegation from Deloitte Advisory US, led by Richard Longstaff, on Wednesday called on Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan to discuss strategic reforms, institutional development and investment facilitation. Richard Longstaff expressed Deloitte’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s energy and economic goals through global expertise. Sofyan Yusufi, Deloitte’s lead advisory partner, emphasised the need for sector-specific, practical initiatives rather than broad, unfocused strategies, according to a press release. Jam Kamal underlined the importance of clarity and coordination across ministries, noting past failures due to vague priorities and poor implementation. He urged a focus on achievable, pilot-based models and encouraged Deloitte to align with national priorities such as exports, climate resilience, and institutional capacity.
