The Punjab government is set to present its budget for the financial year 2025-26 in a key milestone for Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz's tenure.
Finance Minister Mujtaba Shujaur Rehman will formally present the budget in the Punjab Assembly during a specially convened afternoon session.
The Punjab Assembly will convene twice today, with a morning session focusing on passing legislative items and a dedicated budget session at 3:00 PM.
The budget will include the annual budget statement for 2025-26, the supplementary budget for 2024-25, the Punjab Finance Bill 2025, and other financial documents.
The new budget aims to be people-friendly without introducing new taxes, focusing on improving tax recovery and maximizing provincial resources.
Initiatives in education, health, social security, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises will continue in the budget.
The Punjab government is committed to delivering development, fiscal discipline, and public welfare without burdening citizens with new taxes.
