Nation’s welfare top priority in budget: PM Shehbaz

Published on: June 12, 2026 4:57 PM

The prime minister said the federal budget was prepared with hard work and sincerity, stressing public welfare as the top priority. He said the budget reflects national needs and directly affects citizens across Pakistan. The statement came ahead of the federal budget presentation in the National Assembly.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif shared his remarks on the social media platform X. He said the preparation of the budget involved dedication and detailed planning. Moreover, he emphasized that public welfare remained the central focus of economic policy. He added that the government aims to improve living standards nationwide.

Meanwhile, the federal government is set to present a Rs17.5 trillion budget in parliament. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb will present the financial plan in the National Assembly. In addition, the budget is expected to outline key economic targets and policy measures. Therefore, attention remains focused on fiscal direction and national priorities.

The government has signaled a focus on economic stability and public relief in the upcoming budget. It also aims to balance development needs with fiscal constraints and revenue challenges. Furthermore, policymakers are expected to introduce reforms to support growth and investment. These steps are designed to strengthen the overall economy.

After presentation, the budget will move into parliamentary debate and approval stages. Details of allocations and reforms will be examined by lawmakers and stakeholders. Consequently, scrutiny is expected to intensify in the coming days across political and public forums.
