It is rightly said by elders that in your professional life, if you have right person to guide you and motivate you consider it as first step towards success. I started my career formally in research sector from Policy Research Institute of Market Economy as intern back in 2014. At that time though PRIME was in its early phases of development but thirst for learning was there. I remember my first interaction with Sir Ali Salman which, I will say brings in that spark and motivation to learn and write. Starting from scratch at that time with weak basis of research but I was never stopped from writing something, never stopped from meeting new people and never stopped from thinking on positive direction and grow as a researcher.

Many think tanks tend to deal with pie-in-the-sky concepts that are far from the realities of the backbone of the economy–the small and medium enterprises. From the time of its inception, I have found PRIME willing to take on policy research that is pertinent to the actual problems being faced by the business community.

I have long cherished the hope to see an economic think tank funded by Pakistani money. With Asian and Pakistani experience, PRIME carries the promise and relevance to provide quality research work on issues and opportunities besetting and eluding Pakistani economy.

Tax reform should be a priority for Pakistan’s economic prosperity and PRIME is the only avant garde think tank in Pakistan, with your generous help we can advance this agenda.
