The Ministry of Planning & Development will spearhead a decisive reform push in the coming year. Under the URAAN Pakistan framework, 2026 will be declared the Year of Reforms—focused on cutting red tape, eliminating unnecessary regulations, and unleashing private sector enterprise. These reforms will lay the foundation for accelerated growth and put Pakistan firmly on the path to achieving a one-trillion-dollar economy by 2035.

Renowned educationist Dr. Arfa Sayeda Zehra passed away in Lahore at the age of 83.
She was deeply affectionate — warm, always generous with her time and wisdom. Her presence lit up every gathering, and her wit left an indelible mark on all who knew her.

[Ahsan Iqbal @betterpakistan]

Iqbal envisioned a moral state grounded in justice and compassion, not a theocracy, but an ethical polity. Pakistan must shift from a control-based colonial administration to a performance-driven, technology-enabled, citizen-centred state. This transformation requires transparent governance, merit-based institutions, data-driven planning, accountability with empowerment and policy continuity.

[Ahsan Iqbal @betterpakistan]

The World Bank has noted that “post-2018 multiple shocks, including deterioration in macroeconomic conditions, led to a slight increase in poverty in Pakistan.”
It is important to put this in context. The single biggest shock post-2018 was “Imranomics”—four Finance Ministers in four years, reckless policy experimentation, no vision, and the dismantling of a stable macroeconomic framework. This not only reversed the hard-won economic gains of 2013–2018 but also plunged Pakistan into its worst macroeconomic crisis in decades.
Since 2022, the focus has been on painful but necessary macroeconomic stabilization. The super climate disaster of 2022 further compounded recovery, destroying lives, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Yet despite these hurdles, Pakistan has begun to turn the corner: inflation is moderating, growth prospects are improving, and investor confidence is gradually returning for growth to return.
But we must be candid: poverty cannot be sustainably reduced without addressing deeper structural issues. Chief among these is the weakness in our social sectors. Following the 2010 devolution, provinces have not effectively devolved service delivery to empowered local governments. This has left health, education, and social protection systems over centralised, fragmented and underperforming, preventing citizens from receiving the full benefits of devolution.
Going forward, our fight against poverty requires three priorities:
1.Sound and stable macroeconomic management to prevent policy shocks that hurt the poor the most.
2.Stronger investment in social sectors—especially education, health, population, and nutrition—backed by accountability at the district level through empowered local bodies.
3.Climate resilience and disaster preparedness, so that progress is not reversed every time Pakistan faces natural shocks.
Poverty alleviation is not a one-time project. It demands consistent policies, resilient governance, and commitment across federal, provincial, and local levels. That is the path we are pursuing under URAAN Pakistan and the 5Es framework.
