Abstract
The PML-N came to power three years ago on the platform of the three E’s - Economy, Energy and Education. This article focuses on the midterm assessment of the economy, its challenges and agenda for the next two years. On the economic front, the government compiled a mixed record so far. The economy has stabilised compared to early 2014, and macroeconomic indicators — helped by falling international oil and commodity prices — are looking better. The free fall of the rupee has been arrested and foreign exchange reserves have been built up to cover four months’ imports. International financial markets were accessed to mobilise resources. A friendly country also came to the rescue in the early days by supplying a substantial amount. Agreements with the IMF and other multilateral banks are on track.
