He strongly supported the plan to establish the SCO Development Bank and called it a milestone in promoting economic development, infrastructure, and connectivity in the region. According to Pakistan’s position, this bank should be a center for modern financial trends, digital solutions, and green financing.

The Finance Minister also welcomed the proposal for the SCO Network of Financial Think Tanks, and expected that this network would play an important role in policymaking, research, and future planning.

At the end of his address, the Finance Minister expressed Pakistan’s full support and commitment to promoting economic stability, mutual benefit, and sustainable development in the region.
