Pakistan to announce FY2026-27 budget today

Pakistan’s budget for the next financial year 2026-27 will be presented today (Friday) at National Assembly. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb will present the budget. The government had earlier indicated that the budget would be presented on June 10 after revising the schedule from its initial plan. The upcoming budget is expected to outline the government’s fiscal priorities, revenue measures and expenditure plans for FY27 amid ongoing efforts to stabilise the economy and sustain growth. On Thursday, the government unveiled the Pakistan Economic Survey (PES) for FY2025-26, according to which GDP growth was recorded at 3.7% in the outgoing fiscal year. The growth was higher than last year’s growth of 3.18% but well short of its target of 4.2% announced in the last year’s budget.
