In April, PM Shehbaz announced the formation of the EAC to review and formulate economic policies in a more holistic manner.

The EAC is expected to advise on short-term macro-economic stabilisation as well as structural reforms for stable and sustained economic progress.

As per the earlier published Terms of Reference (ToR), the EAC would review the overall economic condition of the country and propose possible corrective measures considering the available resources of the country.
