The National Economic Council (NEC), the highest economic decision-making forum of the federation, met earlier on Wednesday to finalise federal and provincial development plans ahead of the budget presentation.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who chaired the meeting, said the Centre held consultations with the provinces on all matters “with extreme seriousness, and we made decisions in the best interest of Pakistan”.
The Economic Survey of Pakistan for the fiscal year 2025-26, a key pre-budget document that outlines the government’s assessment of the national economy, will be officially launched on Thursday (June 11) afternoon.
The survey will be launched by Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, according to a press release issued by finance ministry here Wednesday.
The Economic Survey serves as a vital document ahead of the annual federal budget, offering detailed insights into the country’s socio-economic performance over the outgoing fiscal year.
The survey highlights trends, achievements, and challenges across major sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, industry, services, energy, information technology and telecommunications, capital markets, health, education, transport, and communication.
Additionally, the survey will shed light on developments in social protection programs, environmental sustainability, and infrastructure.
