Top CEOs and ex-ministers decode Pakistan’s boldest budget yet
From tax crackdowns to relief for salaried class — Kamran Khan asks: reset or risky gamble for Pakistan’s economy?
In this special episode of On My Radar, Kamran Khan hosts a high-powered panel featuring the CEOs of Indus Motors, Ali Asghar Jamali and Unilever Pakistan, Amir Rasool Paracha alongside with former Finance Minister, Asad Umar and former Revenue Minister, Haroon Akhter.
The panel dissects Pakistan’s 2025-26 federal budget — widely seen as the most aggressive attempt yet to dismantle the undocumented, cash-based economy.
From blocking non-filers from buying property and cars to raising taxes on undocumented transactions, the budget marks a defining moment in Pakistan’s fiscal history.
But it’s not all about enforcement — the panel also highlights significant tax relief for salaried classes, incentives for housing and agriculture, and bold measures aimed at reviving business confidence.
Is this the beginning of Pakistan’s long-overdue economic turnaround? Or a fragile recovery at risk from political turbulence?
Watch the full video for an explosive discussion that could redefine Pakistan’s economic future.
