The current financial crises lead to three main agreements firstly people don’t always behave rationally with borrowed money in pocket, secondly if unchecked people with good contacts in the higher ranks may take undue advantage. Thirdly market is now global and domestic regulators may not be able to control operations of firms in the global market thus requires international regulatory mechanism. The Planning Commission’s Task Force on Private Sector Development has suggested that large enterprises should not feel confronted & Small operators can keep their costs low. Second, the private sector should invest in skill development. Third, the country’s unique geographic situation has provided the businesses opportunities but has also posed problems. Our relations with the neighboring countries must be trade friendly.
The Task Force on the Private Sector Development shall take Pakistan’s economic situation in the context of redefined capitalism.
