NA body stresses need for reforms

The National Assembly Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue on Saturday stressed the importance of continuing structural reforms to consolidate economic stability and support sustainable growth, while reviewing the Federal Budget FY2026-27.

Chairing the meeting, Member National Assembly (MNA) Syed Naveed Qamar, observed that while the budget introduces a number of incremental adjustments, it does not sufficiently address Pakistan's underlying structural economic challenges, said a news release.

He emphasized that sustainable economic growth requires comprehensive reforms aimed at broadening the tax base, improving expenditure efficiency, strengthening debt management, and promoting investment and productivity.

A team of financial experts presented the "Post-Budget Analysis of the Federal Budget FY 2026–27" before the Committee.
