KP Exceeds Revenue Target; CM Highlights Pakistan's Economic Challenges

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi announced the province collected over Rs.150 billion in revenue for FY2025-26, surpassing its Rs.129 billion target. He attributed this to governance reforms and digitalization, setting a Rs.180 billion target for FY2026-27. Afridi also expressed concerns over Pakistan's broader economic challenges, including federal revenue shortfalls, rising public debt, and widening trade imbalances, urging comprehensive reforms for sustainable growth. These comments on national economic stability could influence investor sentiment towards the Pakistani Rupee and local gold demand.
