According to a report by the US Daily “USA Today,” Pakistan’s economy is rapidly moving toward growth. The report revealed that strong economic reforms and innovation in the private sector have transformed Pakistan’s investment landscape.

The report further said that Pakistan is entering 2026 with stable institutional discipline, an improved macroeconomic environment, and strong leadership across key sectors.
