The Advisor said, “The federal budget for fiscal year 2027 will be presented before the National Assembly of Pakistan on Wednesday, June 10, by Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Muhammad Aurangzeb.
The upcoming budget will outline the federal government’s fiscal priorities and policy measures for the forthcoming financial year. The Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue will present the Survey, providing a comprehensive review of the country’s economic performance during the outgoing fiscal year”.
A crucial meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC), which was scheduled to be held on June 3, has been postponed and is now expected to be held on June 8 to finalize the 2026-27 development plan. The NEC meeting, which will be chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, is particularly significant as the constitutional body is required to approve key macroeconomic targets and endorse the size of the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) before the federal budget is formally unveiled.
