Reversal of roles
April 24, 2024

Dr. Rashid Amjad

While the finance minister trudges through the corridors of the IMF and World Bank, engaged in applying for a longer, larger new loan programme even before the current one has ended, the provincial governments back home are flush with funds — to the extent that they never consider raising any revenues on their own or spending prudently what they have.

For this, we have the seventh National Finance Commission (NFC) award to thank, and later the 18th Constitutional Amendment, which everyone hoped would spark less contentious, more equitable growth. But these hopes were not realised because the federation kept up its old habits — spending this year Rs360 billion on subjects it had devolved to the provinces and running up huge fiscal deficits that led to unsustainable domestic and foreign borrowing, despite the looming threat of default. The provinces lost any incentive to raise revenues on their own or spend their resources wisely.

Lahore School of Economics Annual Conference on Management of Pakistan Economy

The Lahore School of Economics, Annual Conference on the Management of the Pakistan Economy, held in Lahore on the Burki campus (18-19 April 2024).


The Rector, Dr. Shahid Amjad Chaudhry, opened the conference, by highlighting key policy messages that emerged from the 17 papers being presented.


Dr. Moazam Mahmood, Seemab Sajjid, and Amna Noor Fatima presented evidence of that the Pakistani economy will grow at a rate of 2.3% in FY 2024 and showed that a combination of this low growth and high inflation will significantly increase poverty this year and in the coming years. They then showed that approximately 10% of taxes would have to be spent on transfers to lower income households to eliminate this poverty and that this would become larger over the coming years which implies that there must be a significant increase in transfers to households this year, through programs like the Benazir Income Support Program) and in the coming years to address poverty in Pakistan. Pakistan’s economy was projected to grow at 2.3% over FY2024.
