Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, reacting to the stock market surge with the arrival of the budget, stated that no additional tax burden has been imposed on the common man in the people-friendly budget.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed satisfaction over the stock market reaching the highest level in history and said that the surge in the stock market is a reflection of investors’ confidence in Budget 2025.
Shehbaz Sharif stated that the increase in salaries and reduction in taxes will provide relief to salaried individuals. Alhamdulillah, the journey of national economic development has begun. The people of Pakistan have made sacrifices; now we all have to work together to bring improvement in the life of the common man.
The Prime Minister further said that the decrease in the inflation rate and the increase in foreign exchange reserves have been made possible due to the hard work of the economic team. The return from the brink of default and the journey of development is a miracle for Pakistan.
It should be noted that earlier, at the beginning of the post-budget press conference, the journalist community boycotted Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and expressed concerns over not being given a technical briefing regarding taxes.
However, Federal Minister for Information Atta Tarar succeeded in convincing the journalist community, and during the post-budget press conference, the Finance Minister informed the media of the important points of the budget and provided its details.
