LETTER: The prime minister must be commended for setting up a think tank to mull over steps aimed at fuelling economy. His is a right step because the challenges that Covid-19 has thrown up for the government need a proactive approach to the situation, which is unfortunately characterised by a woeful economic slowdown and growing joblessness in the country.

Since the purpose of the think tank is to take steps for improvement in the economy in coordination with Pakistani businesses, academia and banking sector, no stone should be left unturned to bring about a meaningful improvement in the current state of economy.
