The 9th edition of #LIIBS2026 ends with a clear conclusion: Pakistan has no shortage of plans. #TheNextMove now is continuity, implementation and the resolve to translate the right policies into results.
#LeadersinISB
“There is always going to be an urgency, a new pandemic, a new war but urgent & important things need to be categorized. There is no continuity of policy. Continuity of economic policy is integral."- Ziad Bashir, Chairman, @ThePBC_Official#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“We write excellent policies. We write excellent economic structures. But when it comes to implementation, that’s where the real hard work begins.” - Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman
#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“Pak's security challenges must be addressed, but the deeper question is structural. The focus should be on understanding & fixing the underlying economic constraints.” - Senator @anwaar_kakar#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“We don’t need policies coming out of ChatGPT. We need strategies that can actually be implemented. Pak has no shortage of white papers & consultant reports. What matters is having a clear strategy & a plan to execute them.”-@DrMusadikMalik.
#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“Government should get out of the business of doing business. Around Rs. 2 trillion in support for state-owned enterprises could instead be directed towards strengthening Pakistan’s human & physical infrastructure.” -Amjad Waheed, @NBP_Funds#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“Document the economy & broaden the tax base & tax rates can come down. Consistent rules, transparency & a level playing field between formal & informal sectors are essential to attracting investment.” - Javed Kureishi, @ThePBC_Official#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
"Pak’s stock market spent years in de-rating, with price-to-earnings ratio multiples falling to 2.5–3x between 2018 & 2023. The return of greater macroeconomic stability since 2023 has reshaped investor sentiment and market dynamics." - Mohammad Shoaib
#LIIBS2026#LeadersinISB
“Financial inclusion is not just about opening bank accounts; it is about using transaction data to understand financial behavior & extend credit to people who have traditionally remained outside the formal financing system.” - Umair Aijaz, @RaqamiBank#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove
“The shift toward Sharia-compliant finance is increasingly visible, with Islamic deposits accounting for around 23–24% of banking deposits & nearly half of mutual fund assets under management.” - Imtiaz Gadar, @AlMeezanGroup#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
“Even in the age of AI, human capability remains fundamental. Not every task can be handed over to technology; human judgement, expertise & decision-making remain critical as organizations adapt to a rapidly changing workplace.” Tariq Rashid, @SystemsLtd#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove
“Data sovereignty matters, but so does understanding the limits of control. As AI & technologies like quantum computing evolve, the conversation must reflect what nations & organizations can realistically govern.” - Asif Ahmad, @PTCLOfficial#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
"AI maturity is not just about generating insights. It is about predicting what happens next, recommending what to do & eventually taking autonomous action." - Saqib Sabah, Managing Director Growth Market Units, @SAP#LIIBS2026#TheNextMove#LeadersinISB
