Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has promised that the upcoming budget for 2026 will focus on providing much-needed relief to Pakistan’s middle and lower-income groups. He emphasized that the government will ensure greater support for salaried workers, pensioners, and laborers in a bid to ease their financial challenges.
Key Investments in Health, Education, and Agriculture
The Prime Minister pointed out that significant investments will be made in essential sectors like health, education, and agriculture. These areas, he noted, are crucial for improving the living conditions of everyday citizens. The government also plans to expand the tax base, ensuring a more balanced distribution of the country’s financial load.
Boosting Investor Confidence
PM Shehbaz highlighted that the government’s business-friendly policies have already begun to restore investor confidence. He expressed hope that these measures will continue to attract investment, which will, in turn, contribute to the country’s economic recovery and growth.
Reforms and Privatization Plans
The Prime Minister also shared details on plans to implement institutional reforms and privatize inefficient state-owned enterprises. These efforts, according to him, are essential for enhancing efficiency and tackling fiscal deficits in the long term.
