Pakistan to soon come out of economic crisis: Ahsan

Islamabad: Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal says Pakistan’s economy stands on strong foundations and it would come out of economic crisis very soon.

Talking to BBC, he said despite economic challenges Pakistan will not default in any case.

Speaking about the flood damages in Pakistan, Ahsan Iqbal said over 1700 people died across the country during the torrential rains and floods last year.

He said the rehabilitation and reconstruction continues in the flood hit areas. However, complete recovery would take two to three years’ time.
