Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has expanded upon the proposed budget for FY26-27, touting it as a key move towards the country’s economic growth.
“In this budget, we have made significant progress in that direction of travel [towards economic growth] that we spoke earlier about,” he said at the outset of his media briefing in Islamabad.
The minister affirmed that the government has “made comprehensive efforts to create an enabling environment” for an export-led growth, recalling the abolishment of an advance tax.
He stressed the decision to reduce the super tax for businesses earning more than Rs500 million, terming it a “very meaningful direction of travel”.
