PM Calls for Balochistan Dialogue, Pledges Billions for Development

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for a "grand dialogue" with Balochistan's political leaders and stakeholders to resolve legitimate grievances and foster development, while condemning militancy. The government plans substantial federal investment, including Rs415 billion for the Karachi-Chaman N-25 highway, an additional Rs100-200 billion for the Quetta-Chaman highway, and Rs70 billion for solar-powered tubewells. These initiatives aim to unlock the province's vast mineral wealth and improve stability. While these long-term development efforts are positive for Pakistan's economic stability, their immediate impact on gold or currency rates in Pakistan is likely to be indirect and gradual.
