ISLAMABAD: While formulating seven sub groups, including macroeconomic framework to ascertain the exact size of resource envelope, the provinces in the maiden session of NFC expressed reservations over the inclusion of cost sharing on account of various heads from the share of the federating units.
The Centre included certain provisions of expenditures into Terms of Reference as part of discussions for the 10th National Finance Commission (NFC) Award but all the stakeholders decided to defer discussion on it because the provinces were not ready to listen to any proposal that slashed their share in the overall Federal Divisible Pool (FDP). Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali, while talking to reporters after the NFC meeting outside the Q Block, said that under the Constitutional provisions, the share of the provinces into the FDP could not be reduced from the last NFC Award, making it clear that all such possibilities would not be considered.
