ISLAMABAD, JAN 24 (Online): The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Monday said due to rising inflation and political and economic instability the people are worried and the future of the country is at stake.
If the country’s economy was not given full attention by policymakers then we will be wiped out it said.
In these critical times, it is a welcome step to recognize the economy as a key component of national security, said Brig (retd) Aslam Khan, Chairman PEW.
He said that economic security is a key element of national security that requires serious effort in the right direction.
He welcomed the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement that going to the IMF is tantamount to compromising national security, adding that the only way out of the clutches of international institutions is to stabilize the economy, which is also linked to the well-being of the people.
Aslam Khan said that it has become impossible to provide resources to meet the needs of defence and other critical sectors leaving us insecure, the solution to which is growth and development.
