Meanwhile, caretaker Finance Minister Shamshad Akhtar has said that Pakistan’s economy was expected to grow by 2 to 2.5% in the ongoing fiscal year.

“Growth is to rebound into the positive trajectory in the range of 2 to 2.5%, with agriculture expected to grow by 5.6%, and industry by 2.5% this fiscal year,” she said while addressing the IPO Summit-2024, held in Karachi a day earlier.

She said that the tax collection target was projected to touch the Rs10 trillion mark as the Federal Board of Revenue struggles to launch additional reforms.
