The situation can be saved by credible and immediate measures to revive the economy and mitigate the sufferings of the people. However, the country would need political stability for the success of said measures in the economic domain. The establishment of Special Investment Facilitation Council to attract direct foreign investment from the Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar in IT, minerals, agriculture and defence is an auspicious development. That indeed is a great success and indicates the trust and confidence of these countries in the leadership of Pakistan Army and its ability to deliver on the made pledges. The Army chief not only talked about attracting foreign investment but he also expressed his determination to sternly deal with the land mafia and extortionists to weed out corruption.
