پنجاب کا بجٹ خسارہ 145 فیصد بڑھ گیا، مالی دباؤ میں اضافہ

Punjab's budgetary borrowing from banks more than doubled to Rs753.4 billion in the first seven weeks of the current fiscal year, a 145% increase from Rs306.8 billion last year, indicating growing liquidity pressures. The federal government also borrowed Rs571 billion in the same period, while provinces struggle with weak own-source revenues and high administrative costs. This escalating provincial and federal borrowing highlights Pakistan's persistent fiscal challenges. Continued fiscal strain could exert pressure on the Pakistani Rupee and potentially boost demand for gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty.
