ISLAMABAD: Having missed the growth target by half a percentage point, recording growth of 3.7 per cent this year, the government has set an economic growth target of 4pc and inflation at 8.2pc for the next fiscal year.
The macroeconomic framework for 2026-27 was cleared on Monday at a meeting of the Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC) for formal approval by the National Economic Council (NEC) on June 3.
The NEC — considered as the country’s highest national economic policymaking body — is led by the prime minister and represented by all four provincial chief ministers besides as many federal ministers.
The daylong APCC meeting is being presided over by Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal and is being attended by provincial development ministers, along with senior federal and provincial bureaucrats.
