title: "PM Shehbaz urges private sector to focus on export-led growth and job creation"
description: "Most outlets led with the Prime Minister's call for the private sector to drive export-led and sustainable economic growth, often noting the achievement of macroeconomic stability as a backdrop. The Express Tribune added context about the failure of long-standing subsidies to boost exports, while Business Recorder and Aaj News highlighted the government’s commitment to this growth model. Pakistan Today and Pakistan Observer briefly mentioned related developments such as financial reforms and technological development, but these were not emphasized in most other excerpts. Overall, the framing was largely consistent, with slight variations in the emphasis on stability, private sector leadership, and supporting economic indicators."
