Due to fragile policy environment business sentiment is at the lower end and the country will never grow until it become core value from top to bottom. Policies do not sprout in Pakistan as it has become a victim of manifestation of the system and non-conducive work culture. Businesses are running in an environment where business community is forced to take actions for their existence in the market not on growth. Current situation of economy shows Pakistan now fall lowest in investment and maintaining the lowest credit to GDP ratio which is 18% for Pakistan, 47% for Bangladesh, while 50% for India.
