budget 2016-17 Of Pakistan By Ishaq Dar Budget 2016-17 Going all-out to support agriculture sector, says Dar Using the occasion for self-congratulation, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar presented budgetary proposals for financial year 2016-17 before the National Assembly on Friday. Approved by the federal cabinet, the new budget of Rs4.42 trillion appears to strike a balance between fiscal consolidation, imposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and some incentives for the industrial sector. The federal government unveiled Rs800 billion development budget, an amount that is Rs100 billion higher than last year but still comes across as less given the huge financing requirements of about 866 projects including the pressing needs of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
