ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday showered praise on the Capital Development Authority (CDA), saying that it had come a long way after nearly being bankrupt when the PTI-led government took over the reins of the country.
The PM took to Twitter and wrote, “Our economic turnaround & success of our construction policy showing results in diff sectors. Pak is changing.”
Our economic turnaround & success of our construction policy showing results in diff sectors. Pak is changing. A near-bankrupt CDA, which posted a deficit of Rs 5.8 bn in 2017, will close this financial yr with Rs73 bn surplus & Rs 26 bn already in accounts. Well done team CDA.

With financial stability achieved, it's time to accelerate transformation of Islamabad into a model city with priority being on reform & restructuring. Other mega cities can also become self-sustaining economic engines of growth through commitment, transparency & innovation.
