Presently, the business community is in the process of securing appointments with senior leadership across the country, aiming to commence high-level meetings within the next week. Habib emphasised that the ongoing political upheaval has severely hampered the nation’s economy, which is being closely observed by the international community. He explained the critical relationship between political stability and economic well-being, asserting that stability in one is indispensable for stability in the other.
