ISLAMABAD (The Thursday Times) — Pakistan agar structural islahat ki raftar barha de toh 2050 tak ausat aamdani tigni ho sakti hai, World Bank ne Jumerat ko kaha, aur khabardar kiya ke maeeshati istehkam ki taraf mulk ki wapsi ke bawajood aam Pakistani ki aamdani mein izafa taqreeban 1.6% saalana par atka hua hai.
Yeh nateeja World Bank Group ki taza tareen Pakistan Development Update: Attaining Escape Velocity se samne aaya hai, jis mein Middle East ke tanaze ke asarat ke bawajood maeeshat ko sambhalne ka sehra durust maeeshati policy ke sir bandha gaya hai. June mein khatm hone wale maali saal mein haqeeqi GDP growth pichhle saal ke 3.2% se barh kar 3.7% ho gayi, jabke mehsool mein izafe aur akhrajat mein ehtiyat ne primary fiscal surplus ko GDP ke record 2.9% tak pahuncha diya aur mazboot remittances ki badaulat zakhair dobara jama karna mumkin bana diya.
In behtariyon ko S&P aur Moody's ne tasleem kiya, jin donon ne is saal Pakistan ki credit rating behtar ki, jis se mulk ke 3 arab dollar ke Eurobond ke zariye bain-ul-aqwami qarz ki mandiyon mein wapsi ka rasta saaf hua.
"Ab islahat ki fori zaroorat hai"
"Pakistan ne istehkam bahal karne mein haqeeqi pesh raft ki hai, aur mandiyon ne is par tawajjoh di hai," World Bank ki Pakistan ke liye Country Director Bolormaa Amgaabazar ne kaha. "Lekin haqeeqi fi fard growth, yani woh raftar jis se aam Pakistani ki aamdani barhti hai, taqreeban 1.6% par atki hui hai. Tez growth ke liye islahat ab fori taur par zaroori hain."
Report ke mutabiq, agar Pakistan apni policies aur idaron ko us satah par le aaye jo aam middle-income mulk mein nazar aati hai, toh woh har saal 6.2–6.9% taraqqi ki raftar barqarar rakh sakta hai, jo 2050 tak Vietnam ki maujooda aamdani ki satah tak pahunchne ke liye kafi hai.
"Macro istehkam hasil ho chuka hai, lekin maali wasail aur zar-e-mubadla ab bhi bohat tang hain. Aise mein niji sarmayakari ko hausla dene wali structural islahat behtar miyar-e-zindagi ki janib agla zaroori qadam hai," report ke sarbarah musannif Sebastian Essl ne kaha. "Is tarah ki niji shobe ki qiyadat mein hone wali taraqqi ke liye mansoobe, hum aahangi aur islahat par pukhta amal darkar hai."
Haliya iqdamat ki bunyad par aage barhna
Bank ne pehle se jari islahat ki nishandehi ki jinhein aage barhne ki bunyad qarar diya, jin mein bijli ke shobe mein tariff ki tabdeeliyan shamil hain jin se tawanai ki subsidies FY25 mein GDP ke 1.1% se kam ho kar FY26 mein 0.8% reh gayin, National Tariff Policy ke teht trade liberalisation ka jari silsila, aur Pakistan International Airlines ki haliya privatisation.
Bank ne kaha ke musalsal taraqqi ab karobari mahaul ko mazboot karne, tax nizam mein islahat, maeeshat mein riyasat ke dakhl ko kam karne aur finance tak rasai barhane par munhasir hogi.
