Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister, has established a committee to cut federal government spending.
On Wednesday, the cabinet division released a statement.
The prime minister will appoint seven people to the committee. The group will be led by the Planning Commission’s deputy chairman.
The Secretary of the Cabinet Division, the Secretary of Finance Division, the Secretary of I&P Rashid Mahmood Langrial, Drs. Qaiser Bengali, Farrukh Saleem, and Muhammad Naveed Iftikhar are the other members of the committee.
The committee’s goals will be to shrink the federal government and implement institutional changes. In order to save costs, the committee will create a TOR (Terms of Reference) and provide a workable strategy.
The Finance Division’s National Fiscal Efficiency Report will also be examined by the committee.
The group will also advise ways to cut costs, such as pension plans, the PSDP (Public Sector Development Program), or other ideas. If required, the committee may also go to the public or private sectors for help.
Within a week, the committee will provide its findings to the prime minister.
