Khawaja Asif Terms 15–16% Electricity Price Cut a Major Relief for the Public

Khawaja Asif Terms 15–16% Electricity Price Cut a Major Relief for the Public
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sialkot – In a significant development welcomed by both households and businesses across Pakistan, Federal Defense Minister Khawaja Asif announced a 15 to 16 percent reduction in electricity prices. Speaking at a gathering in Sialkot, Asif described the reduction as a “big relief” for the Pakistani people, highlighting it as a key indicator of improving economic conditions and governmental efforts to stabilize the national economy.

Economic Challenges and the Rise of PDM

During his address, the senior Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader reflected on the circumstances that led to the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) assuming power two years ago. He stated that the coalition government, formed through a vote of no confidence, inherited a country struggling under the weight of corruption, inflation, and fears of economic collapse.

“There were real concerns that the dollar might reach 600 rupees, or that food shortages would lead to riots in the streets,” he emphasized. The country’s relationship with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was also uncertain, with many fearing the IMF would refuse further assistance without significant reforms.

Remarkable Economic Turnaround

Khawaja Asif underscored that what followed was a concerted effort by the coalition of political parties to rebuild the nation’s economic foundations. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, the government introduced a range of fiscal and structural reforms that have begun to yield positive results.

He pointed out that the inflation rate, which stood at a staggering 38% at one point, has now dropped to 1.5%. This historic decline reflects successful monetary policies, a stabilized currency, and reduced import pressure. The drop in inflation is not just a statistical improvement, but a tangible relief for ordinary citizens grappling with rising costs of living over the past few years.

Stock Market Surges Amid Positive Sentiment

The Defense Minister drew attention to the performance of Pakistan’s stock market, which has surged past the 100,000-point benchmark, a historic high that signals renewed investor confidence. In contrast, he noted that the U.S. stock market had recently experienced a crash, suggesting that Pakistan’s market is finally gaining resilience and momentum after years of volatility.

This economic optimism, Asif said, is a result of strategic planning and discipline among various ministries and political stakeholders who placed national interest above partisan politics.

Infrastructure Development and Regional Connectivity

In addition to economic reforms, Khawaja Asif highlighted major infrastructure projects that are set to transform regional connectivity and logistics. The Sialkot-Kharian Motorway is scheduled for completion by June, significantly enhancing road infrastructure in Punjab.

A new lane will also be added to the Sialkot-Lahore Motorway, further easing traffic congestion and improving travel efficiency. According to the minister, 60 percent of the traffic between Lahore and Islamabad is expected to be diverted to the new Sialkot-Kharian route. This motorway will also link with several key roads in the Sialkot district, including Aimanabad Road, Daska Road, and Wazirabad Road. These upgrades will not only reduce travel times but also boost regional trade and industrial productivity.

Political Unity Behind Economic Stability

Khawaja Asif acknowledged that achieving economic recovery while managing a coalition government was no easy feat. “Keeping different political parties united and focused on economic revival was perhaps the most challenging task,” he said, adding that this unity has been pivotal in navigating the country through turbulent times.

The Defense Minister made these remarks during a dinner event hosted in honor of Muslim League (N) workers in Sialkot, where he praised party members and supporters for their dedication and resilience during difficult times.

Energy Sector Reform and Public Relief

The 15 to 16 percent reduction in electricity prices is seen as a direct result of improved fiscal management and energy sector reforms. The price cut is expected to ease the financial burden on millions of Pakistani households and help businesses lower operational costs, thereby improving productivity and employment.

This move also comes in the context of global energy market fluctuations. By improving domestic energy generation and distribution efficiency, the government has managed to offer relief despite global economic uncertainty.

Future Outlook

Khawaja Asif concluded his address with an optimistic message, stating that Pakistan is on a promising path to sustained growth. He reiterated that the journey is far from over, and continued unity and discipline will be crucial in maintaining progress.

The government aims to continue reforms, invest in digital infrastructure, enhance tax collection efficiency, and further promote exports to stabilize the balance of payments. The upcoming fiscal budget is expected to reflect these priorities, with increased allocations toward development and social welfare.
