New Growth Strategy, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Misquoted

 

For Immediate Release

26 December 2011

"New Growth Strategy, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Misquoted"

Islamabad, Monday, 26 December 2011: This is with reference to the news item published in "The News" today regarding the lecture of Dr. Nadeem Ul Haque Deputy Chairman Planning Commission said to be delivered at National Defence University on Growth Strategy.

The news item totally misquoted the contents of the presentation of Dr. Haque, it has nothing to do with the "Nuclear Aspect", the presentation was focused on "The New Growth Strategy" which was approved by "National Economic Council". The same lecture was delivered to the participants of National Security Workshop at the NDU last week.

The message of Dr. Haque in conversatiom with the reporter was that we should focus on growth and development keeping it independent of defense and strategic issues.

Planning Commission of Pakistan has organized a series of workshops on New Growth Strategy which is part of the stakeholders dialogue organized already at 20 universities in 8 cities across the country and the workshop in the National Defence Unviersity was part of this series.

This Workshop was part of a consultation process involving all stakeholders for creating economic literacy and local ownership of the economic reforms under the Framework for Economic Growth of Pakistan formulated by the Planning Commission.

The Framework for Economic Growth of Pakistan formulated by the Planning Commission provides for a strategy that seeks accelerated and sustained growth and development. It comes at a time when the global recession, war on terror and other factors arising out of rampant corruption and governance issues have severely constrained the economic growth in Pakistan. An unintended consequence of our policies has been the stifling of internal markets, cities and communities, which play a critical role in fostering productivity, innovation and entrepreneurship and ultimately promote growth, prosperity and development. Productivity is declining and there is no comprehensive and integrated mechanism available for increasing the competitiveness and good governance. Under these environments Pakistan has been facing new challenges in this 21^st century. All stakeholders have to deal with the issues of cultural change and with the more informed masses address the uncertainty present in social, economic and political issues. Media is now more vibrant and liberal for facilitating this process

The focus of workshop was to ascertain stakeholders' views, create societal awareness and local ownership of economic reform to facilitate implementation of new growth framework in the context of following themes of the growth strategy:

1. Role of Government /result based management in public sector/Civil service reform
2. Energy
3. Market Reforms & Entrepreneurship
4. Urban Management & Connectivity
5. Youth & Community Engagement

The workshop at National Defence University has been deferred and the new date will be announced as soon as possible

The transcript of the presentation/lecture of the Deputy Chairman Planning Commission and Agenda of the workshop is enclosed herewith for the record and reference.

TI's future will not be different from other parties

 

Dear Folks Imran Khan's Jalsa of today was an impressive gathering of people. I love our masses because they always pin hopes in those who talk for change. But situation (changing day by day) suggests that TI's future will not be different from other parties. Those who used to sit shoulder to shoulder to Imran Khan were today stood up at a distance and all turn-coats and LOTAS were sitting in the front row. He talked about problems and criticized Zardari and Gillani but no body dared to speak against MQM's politics. Shah Mehmood Qureshi has proved himself a high level rigid, conservative and extremist soul, who is desperate to reach to power at any cost. His personal grievances with Zardari for not giving him Foreign Ministry reached to a level where he is prompting highly poisoned arguments on nuclear issue, promoting anti-India sentiment and anti-progressive values. I am so surprised to listen to his speech. I wonder, a person can go to that extent. He was talking like Osama and Mula Omer to attack USA and India. Just for power how people can exploit sentiment of youth. he is more dangerous then TALIBAN for me and my kids. I want progressive and secular leadership for my future and Pakistan with liberal identity. I am really surprised that how so-called progressive people are talking poison against neighbor states, instigating people to fight against 'KAFIR INDIA'. They are talking about character, credibility and commitment in the presence of Jahangir Tareen and Khursheed Kasuri. Atleast i feel ashamed and why do they think that people are fool. Regards Zulfi

News Dec 25--NATO supply cut hurting Pakistan’s economy

 

NATO supply cut hurting Pakistan's economy

Oil tankers stranded at borders are live bombs

Ports, border points becoming storage and parking areas

Congestion hurting trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan

Islamabad: [Dec 25]

The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday demanded steps to avoid losses to the economy after suspension of the NATO supplies.

Government should continue to cut vital supply line but chalk out a plan to keep economy clear of any negative impact, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President of the PEW.

Talking to leading transporters including VP, ICCI Shahid Zaman Shinwari, he said that the Nov 26 decision to cut NATO supplies has resulted in clogging at seaports.

Dr. Murtaza Mughal said that piled up supplies are impeding commercial activities which is resulting in losses to all the stakeholders.

Seaports and border stations are transit points which should not be allowed to become choked storage or parking area, he said.

Shahid Zaman Shinwari said that containers and takers have also created congestion at Torkham and Chaman which is hurting trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The situation has also created shortage of commercial vehicles pushing up Karachi-Peshawar per trailer shipping cost by around Rs 30,000, he said adding that hike in cost and delays has a negative impact on overall fragile business environment.

Demanding immediate removal of containers, Shinwari said that Afghan-bound Nate's huge logistics chain mainly consist of fuel which can be called as living bombs.

Others present on the occasion included Ch. Azad, Mushtaq Afridi, Pervez Shinwari, Haji Syed Kand, Ismail Shinwari and others. They lauded the decision to slap embargo on NATO goods in the wake of aggression.

They informed that majority of transporters ferrying supplies have cancelled their deals with Karachi based companies facilitating NATO after Mohmand Agency aggression.

They supported the moves to boycott Bonn conference, rejection of American findings and compensation offer terming it insufficient grounds for restoring supply lines.

Transporters also rejected US claim of poor coordination behind deadly strike and condemned her stubborn attitude. Russia should also slash NATO supplies to Afghanistan, they said.
