Pakistan's forex reserves
Pakistan's foreign exchange
reserves have crossed the $18 billion mark, a record level in the
country's history, says Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
Gilani
said this was achieved despite major economic challenges like last
year's devastating floods, the escalating prices of fuel in
international markets and global recession.
He said high foreign
exchange reserves was an evidence of the sound economic strategy of the
government, Associated Press of Pakistan reported.
The prime
minister said the government was paying special attention to
underdeveloped regions with a view to bring them at par with developed
regions.
