Capital markets key as Pakistan bets on domestic funding: Aurangzeb

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said the country has sufficient internal resources to support investment and growth, stressing that local investors will play a central role in financing key sectors as capital markets are strengthened to unlock long-term funding. Addressing the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF) Signing Ceremony organised by the SECP at the SECP Office in Islamabad, the finance minister said that Pakistan’s mediation efforts continue to go from strength to strength. “We have seen one positive development overnight, and we are hopeful that the conflict will end at the earliest. It’s the right thing for the world, our region, and our country.”
