Research stressed
Pakistan confronts many economic problems which stem from poor governance, bad economic management like
the energy crisis, incentives for industry at the cost of agriculture and
neglect of domestic commerce. According to a press release, this was stated by
Dr Nadeemul Haq, former Vice-Chancellor of the Pakistan Institute of Development
Economics, Islamabad, and ex-chief economist, in his special lecture at the
Government College University on Friday. Dr Naeem also underlined the need for
proactive research in academic institutions on the current economic issues for
public policy development. He said the relevance of economics should be
highlighted. Government College University Vice-Chancellor Dr Khalid Aftab said
educational institutions should exercise intellectual freedom in order to ensure
constructive and meaningful debate on key economic and financial issues.
