ISLAMABAD(National Times)- Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Saturday asserted that the\u00a0proposed budget<\/a>\u00a0for the next fiscal year (FY27) would set the foundation for \u201caccelerating the sustainable growth\u201d recorded in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made the remarks on the floor of the National Assembly as he wound up the debate on the budget FY27, which was presented on June 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finance czar recalled that MNAs presented their opinions on the proposed budget during the debate, adding that reservations were also voiced in some proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, we have gotten very clear feedback from within and outside the House that this is overall a positive and pro-growth budget, which sets the foundation to accelerate the sustainable growth witnessed over the last two years,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the budget proposals, Aurangzeb stated that a \u201csustainable and inclusive export-led growth that increases productivity\u201d was the fundamental objective of the government and the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe often hear and see that the documented corporate sector and salaried class have to bear most of the tax burden. The government has changed this trend and thinking in the budget, and focused on deepening and broadening rather than burdening,\u201d he contended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had initiated this change in the last budget and clarified our direction. In this budget, we have taken additional and concrete initiatives regarding it,\u201d the finance czar affirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the burden of existing taxpayers \u2014 particularly the salaried class, small businesses, exporters and industrialists \u2014 would be reduced under the FY27 budget, keeping in mind the \u201cprinciples of equity and fairness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have ensured the provision of concessional loans for importers and the agriculture sector,\u201d Aurangzeb said, emphasising that the Fixed Asaan Tax Scheme<\/a> has been introduced to broaden the tax net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elaborating on reforms brought in the tax sector in the past two years, he said: \u201cWe have detached tax policy from tax administration. We are introducing a new tax operating model<\/a> in continuation of these reforms, under which the interaction between a taxpayer and a tax officer will be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe process of audit, identification and implementation will be conducted through an automatic [\u2026] system,\u201d the minister said, adding that these reforms aimed to end discretionary powers and prevent harassment through digitisation and promote transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to remarks made by some lawmakers on the Federal Board of Revenue\u2019s (FBR) performance, Aurangzeb said that the government welcomed constructive criticism but stressed the need to consider the context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenting a \u201ccomparative analysis\u201d, the minister noted that an additional $14bn was collected in revenue from 1988 to 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSimilarly, additional revenues of $14bn were collected in the next 13 years from 2011 to 2024. Compared to this, in the brief period of the past two years, our government has secured additional revenues of $14bn,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the discussions held about the agricultural sector during the budget debate, Aurangzeb affirmed that the sector was the \u201cbackbone\u201d of Pakistan\u2019s economy and the government had announced \u201csatisfactory relief and developmental packages\u201d for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the Zarkhez scheme<\/a> had been initiated, under which interest-free and collateral-free loans were being provided to 750,000 small-scale farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further said that Rs9.5bn have been allocated in the FY27 budget for subsidies in the Prime Minister\u2019s Youth Business & Agriculture Loan Scheme (PMYB&ALS), under which loans worth more than Rs109bn will be given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep fertiliser prices within control, a package of Rs15.8bn has been announced in the budget, which includes a Rs10bn subsidy on urea fertiliser, according to the minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finmin went on to mention the Rs4.2bn earmarked for development programmes in the agriculture and livestock sectors. He added that an import duty relief worth Rs2bn was being given to abolish duties on tractors, combined harvesters and other equipment to modernise agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI specifically want to mention that we are expanding agricultural cooperation with China,\u201d Aurangzeb said, noting that Pakistani students and experts were being trained on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are going to construct an agricultural cold storage in collaboration with the private sector, which will cost Rs7.1bn, because investing in this value-chain is extremely important to get the value-added agriculture moving,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finance czar highlighted that in the budget, the government has given tax relief<\/a> to the salaried class, increased the pay<\/a> and pensions of government employees, introduced measures to facilitate the process of obtaining pensions, abolished taxes<\/a> on sanitary pads and contraceptives, and reduced taxes on life-saving medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister said that the NA had saved Rs5bn by taking austerity measures, while the Senate saved Rs1bn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurangzeb thanked the lawmakers for participating in the budget debate, specifically Opposition Leader Mehmood Khan Achakzai, as well as Saleem Mandviwala and Naveed Qamar, who head the standing committees on finance for the Senate and NA, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister said both committees reviewed the budget recommendations with sincerity and gave their recommendations for improvement, \u201csome of which are intended to be included in the Finance Bill 2026\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also thanked the leaders of the parties in the ruling coalition by name, describing their leadership as \u201cvery important in preparing the budget\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his speech, Aurangzeb stressed that \u201cnational consensus was extremely important in the economic and financial recovery\u201d. He requested all stakeholders to continue their cooperation for the country\u2019s economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>\u2018No changes made to methodology for economic indicators\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The minister recalled that the government had stated its \u201cdirection of travel\u201d in the previous budget, adding that progress has been made over the past year on \u201cmany fronts\u201d and economic indicators have been improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finmin pointed out that the 6.6pc growth<\/a> in the large-scale manufacturing sector was the highest level in the past four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur external account is also stable,\u201d he said, adding that the current account recorded a surplus in the first 11 months of the current fiscal year (11MFY26).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aurangzeb also mentioned the record $4.25 billion remittances<\/a> received in May, expressing hope that the country would meet its target of $41bn remittances in FY26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe exports sector is showing improvements. There is a prominent increase in the value-added exports, especially garments, home textiles and IT sectors,\u201d he said, recalling that IT exports<\/a> had witnessed a 20 per cent increase in the outgoing year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur youth freelancers have also made a new record of exports earnings and have secured record earnings of $1.6bn so far,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outset of his speech, Aurangzeb noted that a privilege motion had been moved by Khawaja Sheraz Mehmood and Azimuddin Zahid, which contended that the budget document had discrepancies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that questions were raised on the GDP growth<\/a> for FY26, the per capita income and their methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to clarify that no changes at all have been made to the methodology used for reporting the economic indicators,\u201d the finance czar said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He remarked that the economic indicators for FY18 would also be presented before the MNAs who raised the concerns, so that \u201cit is apparent that there is consistency of measurement from administration to administration\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister explained that the real GDP growth was calculated after adjusting for changes in economic activities and their impact on prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is why the 3.7pc GDP growth reported by PBS (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics) has been calculated on the constant prices of base year FY15-26,\u201d he said, adding that it was an international standard from a methodology perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The finance czar then elaborated that the nominal GDP, which is calculated on current market prices, differed from the real GDP in \u201cboth concept and measurement\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs per international practices, the per capita income is also determined based on current prices and is calculated on the gross national income (GNI) and estimated population,\u201d he said, noting that the population estimates from 2023 and predictions were used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auranzgeb noted that GNI is a sum of the nominal GDP and net factor income received from abroad, and includes workers\u2019 remittances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stated that the size of the economy (nominal GDP) rose from $408.2bn in FY25 to $452.1bn in FY26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his speech, the finance minister highlighted Pakistan\u2019s role as mediator between the United States and Iran, which led to the peace memorandum signed this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terming it a \u201cgolden chapter\u201d of Pakistan\u2019s diplomatic and political history, he praised the national leadership and congratulated the parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe first dividend of this peace agreement has already been announced by the prime minister in terms of the significant reduction in the petroleum prices,\u201d he said, referring to the Rs74 reduction<\/a> in petrol price and Rs67 cut in diesel rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>NA debates Senate recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Earlier in the day, the NA debated the 140 recommendations made by the Senate on the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate was given the responsibility to submit budget recommendations under the 18th Amendment in 2010. Under the Constitution, the Senate has no power to vote on a money bill; this power exclusively lies with the NA, which is the directly elected House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As lawmakers debated over the recommendations, some even contradicted their own positions of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTI leader Asad Qaiser and other lawmakers from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa demanded higher taxes on cigarettes but not on the tobacco crop, which they said should be considered as an agricultural product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTI-backed Muhammad Atif criticised sales tax relief for Pakistan International Airlines, arguing that it should be across the board for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He questioned why relief was proposed<\/a> for business and first class passengers only, but not for those travelling in economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTI\u2019s Amir Dogar demanded that the finance minister explain the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) (Amendment) Bill 2026<\/a>, which he termed \u201cdraconian\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, when the bill was approved by the NA on June 11 by a majority vote, there was no objection even by the PTI members at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, the Senate Standing Committee on IT extensively deliberated<\/a> the bill, which seeks to amend the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-organisation) Act of 1996.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
