ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Sunday praised the latest Ipsos Consumer Confidence Survey for the second quarter of 2025, calling the results a strong indicator of Pakistan\u2019s improving economic situation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The global market research firm Ipsos, known for tracking public sentiment across 89 countries, reported that consumer confidence in Pakistan has reached its highest level in six years, reflecting growing optimism about the country\u2019s economic direction.<\/p>\n

Key Findings and Economic Indicators<\/h3>\n

According to the Ministry of Finance, 42 percent of Pakistanis now believe the nation is moving in the right direction, marking a significant psychological shift as optimism surpasses pessimism for the first time since tracking began.<\/p>\n

Aurangzeb attributed this change to the government\u2019s focused macroeconomic policies over the past 14 months, which have helped stabilize inflation, strengthen the exchange rate, rebuild foreign reserves, and improve fiscal discipline.<\/p>\n

The survey also showed that consumer confidence in making large purchases and investments has doubled compared to last year, while job security perceptions are at their highest since 2019, signaling an overall boost in financial stability.<\/p>\n

Broader Impact and Government Commitments<\/h3>\n

The rise in confidence spans both urban and rural areas and is especially pronounced among youth and women, highlighting the inclusive nature of Pakistan\u2019s economic recovery.<\/p>\n

Aurangzeb emphasized the government\u2019s commitment to maintaining macroeconomic stability, advancing structural reforms, and fostering an environment conducive to private sector growth, export enhancement, and financial inclusion.<\/p>\n

He described the Ipsos survey as a timely validation of the country\u2019s positive trajectory and assured that efforts to translate economic growth into broad-based progress will continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
