Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb led the first review meeting on Pakistan's GM corn commercialization policy, tasked by the Prime Minister to conduct a science-based assessment. The committee will examine scientific, economic, and policy evidence to recommend on GM corn adoption, considering agricultural productivity, food security, and industrial competitiveness. Discussions covered international experiences, potential economic impact, and regulatory preparedness, with agriculture being central to Pakistan's economic transformation. This focus on agricultural productivity and food security could contribute to long-term economic stability, potentially supporting the PKR and influencing local gold prices.
