    A World Bank report highlights that Pakistan's 18th Amendment and 7th NFC Award aimed to strengthen fiscal federalism by decentralizing powers and resources to provinces. However, implementation has been ineffective, with federal deficits, provincial inefficiency in revenue mobilization, and weak local governance undermining progress. The report emphasizes incomplete devolution, governance failures, and the need for reforms like improving provincial revenue and empowering local governments.
