• Concern expressed over slow PSDP utilisation
• Private members refer to frequent taxation changes, exemptions withdrawal
ISLAMABAD: With concern from members on high inflation, unemployment and low growth, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday asked the newly created Economic Advisory Council (EAC) to propose measures for relief to the people rather than imposition of more taxes.
Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin chaired the first session of the EAC meeting. The prime minister presided over the second session through videolink.
“The most important expectation I have from you (EAC) is to suggest out-of-box solutions as to how to reduce prices,” an official quoted the prime minister as saying.
