Talking to the delegation, senator Ishaq Dar viewed that improving financial discipline, ensuring structural reforms and overcoming leakages in the tax collection would ensure increase in the tax to GDP ratio and will reduce fiscal deficit.

The PML-N leader also recognized the immediate need to bring structural changes to improve the performance of public sector enterprises in order to save the current wasteful expenditure of billions of rupees on such PSES.

Senator Ishaq Dar maintained  the PML-N has always urged for structural reforms in order to remove macro-economic imbalances, currently faced by the country. However, a permanent solution to the country's energy crisis should be the top priority as without economic issues can't be resolved.
