Pakistan's NFC award talks stall due to data gaps, disputes, and poor participation, delaying critical fiscal reforms.
Pakistan’s National Finance Commission (NFC) remains stalled nearly two months after its first meeting, with its second session delayed and most technical working groups inactive.
Only two of eight groups have met once, hindered by missing federal data and disagreements over tax inclusion and expenditure discussions.
The federal government seeks to raise revenues by 5% of GDP and boost provincial tax collection, citing a fiscal deficit exceeding 6.6% of GDP, while Sindh opposes broadening the NFC’s scope beyond revenue sharing.
Delays stem from absent federal officials and provincial complaints of poor participation, threatening the long-delayed 11th NFC award.
