Policy Recommendations

Looking Beyond 75
  • Pakistan needs to rely on local resources and develop advanced skills to overcome today’s pressing challenges such as economic crisis, climate change, and devastating flood losses. 
  • It is vital to formulate a strategy that integrates the climate change agenda and economic growth agenda as the country’s economy nor ecology can remain isolated from global trends. 
  • Innovation, research, and development are the essential ingredients for the economic and social progress of any country. Pakistan should look at the models of countries like Japan, China, and Korea in this regard.
  • Only knowledge-based economies are proving their mettle in the world, and it is need of the hour to strengthen ties of Pakistan’s research organisations and academia with industry in order to fight the economic odds facing the country.
  • Outward-looking strategy, that promotes exports and integrates Pakistan into the world economy, is in the best interest of the country for accelerating growth and reducing poverty.
