  "account": "Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared on Friday that Pakistan aims to become the world's sixth-largest economy before 2050, contradicting Goldman Sachs' prediction that the nation will reach this status by 2075. During his address to the Pakistan Mineral Investment Forum (PMIF) 2026 in Islamabad, Shehbaz emphasized his desire to move the timeline forward by over 25 years compared to Goldman Sachs' projection. He encouraged the audience to rest periodically but never to abandon their efforts, stating this as the philosophy that would transform Pakistan into a prominent economic power. While acknowledging the journey ahead would be challenging and long, Shehbaz insisted that Pakistan must persist despite economic difficulties. He confidently stated that the country could secure a leading position among the world's economies sooner than the international projection suggests. The announcement was reported by ProPakistani.",
