Karachi: Sindh Minister for Information Ms.
Shazia Marri has said that there was no truth in the rumors
about national economy and those spreading misinformation
were doing so only to fulfil their personal agenda.
This she said while addressing at the inauguration of 236th
branch of Bank Al-Falah here today. She said that no doubt
there were many challenges to the economy which are being
tackled and given due attention, at both National and Provincial
levels.
Ms. Marri said that such elements are confusing people by
creating fear in their minds and thus damaging their confidence
in the economy. They want to harass masses by propagating
misinformation about the state of economy and overall banking
system.
She further reiterated that there was not truth in the propaganda
about the economy as country’s banking system was performing
well, and opening of this new branch was an ample proof of
this.
She said that the financial crisis in the West was not related
to us directly and as such we should not be afraid by this
crisis but rather be prepared to deal with any possible financial
situation. She said that according to the vision of Shaheed
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto, Provincial Government was encouraging
establishment of banks, financial institutions other business
and industries throughout the province and specially in Karachi.
Being the rapidly emerging business hub of South Asia, Karachi
is also the most significant city of Pakistan financially,
she observed.—RT |
