Budget proposals
May 6, 2021
While Prime Minister Imran Khan is sanguine about giving maximum relief to people in the upcoming budget, there is a need to consider new budget proposals keeping in mind the overall economic strategy that has been in a mess for the past three years. First, the public needs must take precedence over all other considerations. So far, there appears little evidence that the government has been serious in tackling the problems that common people in the country have been facing. The focus of the government has been more on facilitating real-estate, instead. Then there is the question of new development projects that must become prominent in the coming budget proposals. In national budgets, development outlays have been on a low priority for decades. When the PTI-led government assumed power in 2018, many people hoped that the new government would set its preferences right.
