Interview with Dr. Ayesha Khan, Economic Advisor to the Caretaker Government
Editor: Good morning, Dr. Khan. Thank you for joining us today. The caretaker government has recently announced a new initiative for overseas Pakistanis to facilitate easier remittance transfers. Can you elaborate on this decision?
Dr. Khan: Good morning! Yes, I’m happy to share details about this important initiative. We recognize that overseas Pakistanis play a crucial role in our economy, and facilitating their remittance transfers is a priority. The new facility will streamline the process, making it faster and more efficient for them to send money home.
Editor: That sounds promising! What specific measures are being introduced to ease this process?
Dr. Khan: We are introducing several measures, including partnerships with international money transfer services to reduce transaction fees and enhance accessibility. Additionally, we will be implementing a robust digital platform that will allow users to track their transactions in real-time, ensuring transparency and security.
Editor: How do you envision this initiative impacting the overall economy in Pakistan?
Dr. Khan: By making it easier for overseas Pakistanis to transfer funds, we expect to see an increase in remittances, which are vital for our economy. This influx will not only support families but also contribute to national development projects, ultimately bolstering our economic growth.
Editor: That’s insightful! Are there any plans to educate overseas Pakistanis about utilizing this new facility?
Dr. Khan: Absolutely! We will launch an outreach campaign, utilizing social media and community centers abroad to educate overseas Pakistanis about this new service. We want to ensure that they are fully aware of the benefits and the mechanics of using the platform.
Editor: Thank you for sharing this valuable information, Dr. Khan. It’s encouraging to see the government take steps to support the Pakistani diaspora.
Dr. Khan: Thank you for having me! We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this initiative on our overseas community and the economy as a whole.
To enhance the experience for overseas Pakistanis?
Dr. Khan: In addition to easing remittance transfers, we are introducing a special support desk in Islamabad. This desk will offer various services such as the transfer of residential plots, approval of building plans, and assistance with tax-related matters. We understand that overseas Pakistanis often face challenges when dealing with property issues back home, and we aim to iron out these hurdles.
Editor: It’s good to hear that you are addressing property concerns. Can you provide insight into how this support desk operates?
Dr. Khan: Absolutely! The support desk will be equipped to facilitate a range of services, from transferring ownership of plots to helping with the annual property tax process. Moreover, it will also assist in issuing International Driving Permits, Arms Licenses, and Domiciles for overseas Pakistanis. Our goal is to create a one-stop solution for them to access essential services conveniently.
Editor: This approach seems very comprehensive. How do you plan to ensure that overseas Pakistanis are aware of these new services?
Dr. Khan: We will utilize social media, outreach programs, and collaborations with community organizations abroad to spread the word. The announcement by Jawad Sohrab Malik has already generated significant interest, and we will be following up with further communications to keep overseas Pakistanis informed.
Editor: what message do you have for overseas Pakistanis who might be skeptical about this new initiative?
Dr. Khan: I encourage them to give this initiative a chance. We are committed to protecting their rights and making their lives easier. Their contributions to our economy are invaluable, and we are dedicated to creating an environment where they can invest, assist their families, and feel connected to their homeland. We hope that this initiative will strengthen that bond.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Khan, for sharing these insights with us today. It sounds like a significant step forward for overseas Pakistanis.
