#PTI100DaysAgenda

PTI will take inclusive policymaking route instead of political decision-making to achieve its economic objectives including job creation and tax net expansion.

Reforming FBR or any other institution is not easy but change comes from the top, backed by political will. Police reforms in KP is a prime example & proof of PTI’s credentials to bring the required change.

Political appointments are a reality but wage burden is not the core issue in PIA or Steel Mill, it’s governance, management & corruption. PTI will resort to institutional reforms to revive the state enterprises.

It is irrelevant to debate if privatization is an option. PMLN’s privatization policy was a complete failure because it had no basis, enterprises can’t even be privatized unless reformed.

The fundamental issue in working system of FBR has been conflict of interest which PTI has been opposing for the past five years.

Pakistan’s debt crisis cannot be dealt without one-time intervention through specifically designed instruments.

PTI will relieve the productive sector of tax burden to provide a level playing field. 3 Million tax evaders should prepare to pay the taxes, PTI will not allow them evade taxes & the productive sector to be burdened.

Agro policies need to be made on economic basis instead of political interests. PTI will restore the agricultural competitiveness in the country.

Pakistan needs to rework its energy production model and decentralise the system of distribution. Economic competitiveness is one of the core issues of Pakistan & PTI is prepared to address it on practical grounds.

Skill development and increase in labour force productivity is fundamental to economic growth. Vocation and technical training & skill development lies at the core of PTI’s competitiveness policy.

Currency deflation is a result of the wide current account deficits which has resulted from deteriorated economic competitiveness. It needs to be understood that devaluation is not an option but an affect of the disastrous policies worsening the economy.
