Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced the establishment of a dedicated economic think tank aimed at developing research-based policy solutions for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The initiative will be led by former provincial finance minister Taimur Saleem Khan Jhagra.
According to the party, the think tank will focus on preparing practical proposals for economic stabilisation, growth, and structural reforms. It will work closely with economists, policy experts, and relevant stakeholders to develop evidence-based strategies aligned with the vision of PTI founder Imran Khan.
The body will include members of the party’s Finance and Economic Working Group, along with key office-bearers. Additionally, experts from outside the party may also be consulted to ensure a comprehensive approach to policymaking.
The think tank’s mandate includes conducting in-depth research, organising policy debates, and acting as a bridge between the party and economic institutions. Its goal is to formulate actionable recommendations to address key challenges such as inflation, investment slowdown, revenue generation, and sustainable development.
This move comes at a time when Pakistan is facing ongoing economic pressures, including rising inflation and fiscal challenges. PTI aims to use this platform to strengthen its economic framework and prepare for future governance through structured and data-driven policymaking.
By bringing together experienced policymakers and technical experts, the initiative reflects a shift towards more organised and research-focused economic planning in the province.
