“This has been done through strict adherence to fiscal targets while also protecting social safety net. It has been done by maintaining tight monetary policy stance to control inflation and to continue to build up foreign exchange reserves.”

We look forward to working with new government on policies to ensure macroeconomic stability and prosperity for all of Pakistan’s citizens. And I am going to leave it at that, she said.
