Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar on Sunday said that the caretaker government would make “right decisions” instead of resorting to populism and would try to lay a foundation for the next government.
PM Kakar said that a task force headed by the finance minister would determine the sizes of federal and provincial governments, and look at options to better manage pension funds, besides making efforts to rationalise public expenditure and increase revenue.
“We are convinced that there is a need to rationalise expenditure and increase revenue of the government to create a viable state and lessen existential threats due to economic vulnerability.”
‘SIFC to address ill governance of past’
He said that the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) was attempting to help achieve appropriate governance and address the reasons for ill governance of the past.
The prime minister said the government was optimistic about investment from Saudi Arabia in the backdrop of talks between Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammad bin Salman and the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir.
