Despite constraints, budget 2023-24 promises to turn things
around: PM
ISLAMABAD, Jun 12 (APP):Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif
on Monday said that despite the constraints imposed by domestic
and global circumstances, the budget 2023-24 promised to turn
things around and has outlined a clear path for the purpose.
The prime minister, in a tweet, said that achieving economic self-
sufficiency, remained the overarching goal where the economy
was insulated from external turbulence and shocks.
He said as the experts were analysing the various facets of
budget 2023-24, he considered it important to highlight the
special emphasis the government had placed on the growth-
inducing sectors in the budget.
He said the measures for the uplifting of information technology,
agriculture, solarisation, youth development and other sectors
were proposed after thorough deliberations.
“They are aimed at incentivizing innovation and entrepreneurship
of our talented youth and boosting the productivity of agriculture
and attracting investment in the agro-industry.”
At the same time, the prime minister said the government was
working on a solarisation initiative to replace the costlier sources
of power generation by harnessing the vast solar power.
“Affordable energy is key to economic growth and the provision
of relief to the people. The procurement of crude oil from Russia
is also part of the energy security plan,” the prime minister
remarked.
