APAT for consensus national policy to get rid of debts

LAHORE: All Pakistan Anjuman Tajran (APAT) Central President Ashraf Bhatti has said that an agreed national policy for debt relief and economic development was inevitable.

Talking to a representative delegation of businessmen here Sunday, he said that getting rid of external debt and increasing country’s economic resources was inevitable and for this purpose, collective efforts and wisdom, as shown by all the institutions for exclusion from FATF’s gray list, was need of the hour.

Pakistan’s exclusion from the grey list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) was definitely a great achievement, he said and asserted that same formula should also be adopted for getting rid of foreign debt and for the development of national economy and people’s prosperity.
