Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is set to unveil Uraan Pakistan — the country’s ambitious National Economic Transformation Plan (NETP) for 2024-2029 — on December 31. The initiative, described as a roadmap for sustained high growth, aims to address Pakistan’s pressing economic challenges and chart a path toward long-term prosperity.
According to the Ministry of Planning, Uraan Pakistan is grounded in the 5Es Framework: Export, E-Pakistan, Environment and Climate Change, Energy and Infrastructure, and Equity, Ethics, and Empowerment. These pillars will serve as the foundation for the nation’s 13th five-year economic plan.
Key highlights of the plan include increasing annual exports to $60 billion by 2029, enhancing the number of IT graduates, and prioritizing IT exports. The federal government also envisions laying the groundwork for a $1 trillion economy by 2035, focusing on reducing poverty and promoting literacy as central goals.
This comprehensive initiative has been developed with input from both public and private sectors, reflecting a collective vision for Pakistan’s economic revival. Special emphasis will be placed on bolstering IT and digital innovation to ensure global competitiveness.
With Uraan Pakistan, the government aims to inspire confidence in the country’s potential, setting the stage for a brighter and more sustainable economic future. The formal announcement tomorrow is expected to outline actionable steps and strategic milestones to realize these objectives.
