ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is no longer seeking aid-based support and is instead pivoting toward trade- and investment-led partnerships, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said in an interview with an international media outlet circulated by the finance division on Monday, acknowledging longstanding economic backing from Gulf countries.
Aurangzeb spoke to CNN Business Arabia at a time when Pakistan seeks to consolidate macroeconomic stability after a prolonged crisis marked by soaring inflation, currency pressure and external financing gaps.
