Pakistan has been included in the top five countries of the world in terms of competitiveness by securing twenty positions ahead against the last year's General Competitive Index (GCI) ranking. Professor Michael Potter of Harvard Business School (HBS) informed who called on Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Sunday. He met Shaukat Aziz on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
Potter said that Pakistan was consistently doing well for the last three years and was also ahead of its neighbouring countries in terms of dynamism, and reduction in poverty and unemployment.
He said Pakistan was being viewed at the right track and the reform agenda are paying dividend.
Potter appreciated the economic reforms of Pakistan and said however, there was a need to improve the legal system that directly relates to a country's economic system.
Prime Minister Aziz said Pakistan will try to further improve its competitiveness and had launched an ambitious programme to impart skills to improve manpower and logistics throughout the country.
