He said, "Currently, our biggest challenge is to make the country self-sufficient. And for this the Board of Revenue needs to make a target for tax collection. Everyone should pay taxes for the sake of the country even if not for themselves.

He also said that instead of relying on foreign loans, emphasis should be placed on raising funds from own sources. The government needs money right now. For this, the wastage of government money should be reduced.

He also said that a meeting will be held with the US Treasury Department on economic reforms. They will be asked for their cooperation in the reform work.
