BUDGET 2026-27: Only half of FY26 uplift budget spent in 11 months

The government utilised only 52.4% of the Rs1.01 trillion Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) budget in the first 11 months of FY26, with allocations reduced by Rs173 billion to fund fuel subsidies amid rising oil prices. Special regions like Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan spent just 62% (Rs153.86 billion) of their allocation due to further cuts.
