The book was launched through a panel discussion featuring Dr Mubarik Ahmed, Technical Specialist in Agricultural Policies; Dr Waqar Masood Khan, former advisor to the prime minister on revenue; and Professor Dr Samina Khalil, Director, Applied Economics Research Centre, University of Karachi. The panel discussion was moderated by Dr S Akbar Zaidi, Executive Director, IBA Karachi and Dr Asma Hyder, Dean, School of Economics and Social Sciences (SESS).
Dr Zaidi welcomed the panelists and the guests and introduced the contents of the book. On the fiscal space he added that FBR met its targets due to devaluation of rupee and duties on import. The co-moderator of the session, Dr Hyder, shed light on the thought process behind the book by sharing that it was Dr Zaidi’s idea that the faculty of economics department should come forward in facilitating the government and policymakers for providing scholarly input on economic issues.
