“In the 21st century, I personally believe that only private sector-led development and growth can take Pakistan forward as the state-owned entities (SOEs) have failed to deliver except the period of 60s,” he said.
Speaking at a webinar titled ‘Role of the State in economic development’ organised by the Institute for Policy Reforms (IPR), the minister said that countries other than Pakistan passed through various experiences of development including SOEs. In the world of energy, the SOEs dominated the global energy market, he said.

Speaking at a webinar on ‘Role of the State in Economic Development’ organised by Institute of Policy Reforms (IPR) on Saturday, he said these were his personal views and not the policy of the government of Pakistan.
