Budget f or FY 2024-25 has its f oundations on the key macro-economic and f iscal
priorities of the Gov ernment. While progress on the economic f ront has been steady in recent
y ears, the stage is now set f or the country to gear itself towards an era of sustained and
inclusiv e growth with ref orms across all sectors of the economy . Fiscal discipline and right
sizing, reducing the f ootprint of the gov ernment through priv atization, stimulating inv estments,
reorienting the productiv e sector towards exports, optimal rev enue mobilization with a broader
tax base, correcting energy sector imbalances and a better targeted welf are sy stem are some
of the areas where the Gov ernment is determined to keep its f ocus going f orward.
The Gov ernment has set challenging rev enue targets f or FY 2024-25. This
commensurate with the ongoing ref orms at the Federal Board of Rev enue where end-to-end
digitization is on the cards. Use of AI will supplement this initiativ e as FBR automates its
processes. A compliance risk management sy stem is also being introduced to ensure
compliance to tax laws. On the expenditure side, non-essential spending has been curtailed
under austerity measures and SOEs are being rev amped f or improv ed management and
gov ernance. Going f orward, this will create the necessary f iscal space f or enhanced pro-poor
spending, climate change mitigation, and prov ision of quality public serv ices. PSDP has been
allocated Rs. 1,400 billion, a historically high f igure, to ensure dev elopment work on energy and
water sector projects, projects in the IT sector, and f or the special areas of AJK, GB and the
merged districts of Khy ber Pakhtunkhawa.
1. Economic stability and growth through f iscal consolidation and ef f icient use of public
money .
3. Prioritizing improv ements in the country 's balance of pay ments position.
4. Strengthening policy f ramework f or rev italizing the priv ate sector, f ostering
entrepreneurship, encouraging inv estment, and promoting innov ation to stimulate economic
growth.
6. Improv ing serv ice deliv ery /public good by f unneling more f unds into PSDP, introducing
sector specif ic ref orms and encouraging innov ation.
8. Integrating green and gender responsiv e budgeting into public f inance management.
