The premier issued the directives during a meeting he chaired in Islamabad on promoting a cashless economy and digital payments.

“The prime minister directed that awareness campaigns to encourage merchants toward digital payments via QR codes be made more effective, and that remittances from abroad be digitised to 100 per cent,” a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said.
