Honourable Mr Ghulam Ishaq Khan, President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Professor Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, President of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists, Distinguished Delegates, Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Assalam-o- Alaikum. It is indeed a great honour and privilege for me to welcome you all, on behalf of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE, for short), to this inaugural session of the Fifth Annual General Meeting of the Society. Such glittering gatherings of national and international scholars of Development Economics are rare in Pakistan and, therefore, most welcome and impressive. I am, therefore, most grateful to you all for your valuable participation in this meeting. The Pakistan Society of Development Economists is truly a brainchild of Professor Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Director of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, who is appropriately its President also. Based in the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, the society was registered on October 19, 1982 under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. The main objective of the Society was to provide a forum for effective disseminate ion of the fruits of contemporary research, both here and abroad, among academics, Government economists, researchers and policy-makers concerned with socio-economic matters and development. It also aimed at serving as a bridge of contact between scholars of the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics and those similarly engaged in government, universities and other national and international institutions. To attain these objectives, the Society organizes Annual General Meetings and, in close collaboration with the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, holds a number of lectures in the Institute's series of "Lectures in Development Economics". Through these meetings and lectures, •the Society maintains an active contact with its members as well as with eminent national and international scholars. The Society also plans to award medals and cash prizes to scholars for outstanding research contributions in the field of Development Economics.

Prof. Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr M. Ghaffar Chaudhry, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a privilege for me to inaugurate the Fourth Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. I am pleased to note that within only five years of its existence the Society has evolved into a prestigious forum for a free and precious exchange of ideas among economists and policy-makers. I am told that through these annual general meetings 74 papers on various topics have been prepared and published, and that, in its Lecture Series on Development Economics, eminent international economists and demographers have read papers on leading issues in economics and demography. The literature created under the aegis of the Society furnishes useful insights into the functioning of the economy and has contributed to the comprehension of the problems of almost all areas of Pakistan's economy - agriculture, industry, trade, resource mobilization, etc. I am happy to note that the Society has helped to promote a scientific and pragmatic approach in policy-formulation and economic decision-making, and has enabled us to think systematically about the nature of the challenges posed and faced by Pakistan's economic development and about the response to this challenge.

Mr. Chairman, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the First Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. Based in the Pakistan Institute of Development Economics, the Society is intended to play a key role in disseminating information on pressing economic problems and in providing a permanent forum for a free and dispassionate exchange of ideas among professional economists and policy-makers. I am confident that the Society will set in motion a process of interplay between the ideas produced by the economists and the pragmatic application of these ideas by the policy-makers in the world of reality, thereby engendering efficiently functioning models of growth and development. Economics is a living and practical science which must draw its inspiration from and determine the parameters of its theories on the basis of actual organisation of economic life around us and the nature of economic problems faced at a particular stage of development. Theories and models, in turn, must stand the test of practical application in the market-place. A dialogue between the economists and the policy-makers, if they have to be at all placed into separate categories as a part of product discrimination, would represent the most desirable synthesis of professional energy, and for such a dialogue this Society, I am sure, will provide an ideal forum.

Mr President of the Society, Secretary of the Society, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the Third Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE). I am happy to note that, within only four years of its existence, the Society has become one of the most important national forums for discussing economic and demographic issues relating to Pakistan's economy and has attracted to its fold a large number of social scientists from all over the world. The first and second Annual General Meetings of the Society, held in the last two years, have already generated a substantial body of relevant knowledge about development economics and Pakistan's economy. I am sure that the third meeting will be even more fruitful in this respect.

Professor Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Distinguished Participants, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great privilege for me to inaugurate the Ninth Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE) and exchange ideas with eminent national and international economists, planners and scholars. It is a source of great satisfaction to note the contribution of PSDE to enhance knowledge in the area of economic development in Pakistan and abroad. Since its formal inception in 1983, the Society has grown in many ways-it has broadened its scope as well as gained in-depth, and has also attained the stature of a prestigious international forum, which provides an opportunity to outstanding scholars, policy-makers and economists to shed light on new ideas. The Society and its office bearers deserve our congratulations on conducting their affairs in such a competent and constructive manner.

Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my pleasure and honour to address the distinguished gathering of economists, social scientists, intellectuals and renowned personalities from within and outside the country on the occasion of the 19th Annual General Meeting of the Society. This has become an important event in Pakistan where economists and social scientists sit together and deliberate on various issues facing developing economies in general and Pakistan’s economy in particular. The Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (PIDE) deserves our appreciation for holding such a conference on a regular basis. In fact, I have been using this platform for the last four years to apprise the nation about the progress we have been making on the economic front and about the policies we have been pursuing. I intend to do the same today.

Prof. Naqvi, Dr Sarfraz Qureshi, Ladies and Gentlemen! It is certainly a great privilege for me to inaugurate the Second Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. Even though these days I have a 'small' exercise going on for the forthcoming budget, I thought it was more important that I should come here and associate myself with fellow professionals also. I am delighted to learn from Dr Qureshi that there are 400 members of this Society. It is good to know that there are so many development economists around to lend us a helping hand. I hope that this tribe will grow. We just had the great pleasure of listening to Prof. Naqvi's Presidential Address about three categories of economists: the development policy-makers, the development economists and the defunct economists. I am sure that the Address gave you both as much pleasure and as many uncomfortable thoughts as it gave me because it made us do some soul-searching to find out which category we belonged to. I made the unpleasant discovery, as I reviewed myself, that I probably belong in part to all the three categories.
