The Government of Pakistan adopted an ambitious strategy through which Prime Minister Office
was directly engaged with the relevant departments and monitored the progress of reform
implementation.
A National Secretariat and a Prime Minister's Reform Steering Committee were established to
ensure continuity and progress of the reform process. Doing Business indicators remained
nucleus of all of the reforms.
Municipal and Provincial level working groups of Doing Business have also been formed to kick-
start the reform process from grass-root level.
To achieve the goal of economic transformation, special focus was given to Small & Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) where they were provided with all possible facilities and assistance including
simplification of rules and regulations, provision of credit, transparency tax system and
facilitation of business.
