  "account": "Federal Minister for Planning Ahsan Iqbal addressed the graduating class of the 40th Senior Management Course at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) in Islamabad, urging the newly trained civil servants to guide Pakistan towards becoming a $1 trillion economy by 2035. Iqbal emphasized that civil servants are a steadfast foundation of the state, regardless of shifting political administrations.\n\nDuring the ceremony, Iqbal highlighted the importance of civil servants to prepare themselves for evolving global conditions, particularly the increasing influence of artificial intelligence and technological advancements. Drawing parallels with Nokia and BlackBerry, he warned that organizations hindering adaptation to changing circumstances face irrelevance.\n\nIqbal stressed that sustainable economic growth hinges on peace, security, political stability, at least ten years of unbroken policy continuity, and consistent structural reforms. He mentioned Pakistan's positive economic trajectory under Vision 2025 in 2017, which was derailed by political changes in 2018, leading to subsequent economic challenges.\n\nThe minister unveiled the URAAN Pakistan framework, aiming to propel the country towards a $1 trillion economy by 2035. However, he cautioned that sticking to current policies and practices might confine the economy to approximately $600 billion during that period. Iqbal identified exports, energy, environment, equity, and E-Pakistan as the five core pillars of URAAN Pakistan, stressing the need to boost annual exports beyond $100 billion by 2035 for economic self-reliance.\n\nMoreover, Iqbal emphasized the necessity of enhancing education, healthcare, and other social sectors, underlining that the caliber of human resources would play a crucial role in shaping Pakistan's future. Addressing the freshly trained officers, Iqbal encouraged them to transcend their routine administrative duties and contribute to institutional reforms and public service.\n\nAt the conclusion of the event, the minister handed out certificates to the 46 officers who successfully completed the training program, embodying the institution's commitment to nurturing future leaders for the nation's progress.",
