Business loans to change lives: PMISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Monday the government’s loans scheme for the youth would certainly change the lives of millions of people in the country.
He reiterated his resolve to ensure transparency, merit and equal distribution in loan schemes for the youth. Chairing a meeting on the Prime Minister’s Business Loans Scheme at the PM House, Nawaz said proportionate equality would be ensured in the distribution of loans to youth across the country and added that the youth must be involved to achieve economic revival in the country.

It is time that we materialise the promises I made with them during election campaigns,” said the prime minister. He categorically stated that no laxity and corruption would be tolerated in the execution of the business loans scheme. He added that facilitation counters would be established at banks for assisting the applicants.
The prime minister said that more than 0.5 million young people would be given business loans in five years and added that these 0.5 million beneficiaries would certainly improve the lives of millions of families and give a boost to the economic activities in the country. app
