PM Shehbaz says budget brings relief as economic stability achieved

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said Pakistan has achieved economic stability with the grace of Allah and the prayers of the nation, adding that this stability has enabled the government to provide relief to the public in the federal budget.

In a statement after the budget session, the prime minister thanked citizens for their patience and resilience during challenging economic conditions, saying they played a key role in supporting national recovery.

He said the government had promised that once economic stability was achieved, its benefits would be passed on directly to the people. “Alhamdulillah, the era of prosperity has now begun,” he said.

Shehbaz Sharif described the budget as one of relief and public welfare, adding that it reduces the burden on the salaried class and promotes exports, agriculture, industrial growth, investment, and overall economic development.
