On average, SNGPL customers should spend Rs179.17 per mmBtu less in the coming fiscal year, while SSGC customers should save Rs59.23 per mmBtu. However, that will not happen for SNGPL consumers because the government plans to collect the Rs581 billion rate disparity that was not passed on to them over the last six years. The government may not recoup the entire amount from inflation-stricken petrol consumers in a single year, but rather over a number of years. Authorities have previously announced plans to boost gas and electricity costs beginning with the new fiscal year.

The combined saving and investment figure largely determines the next year’s GDP growth, and this low figure therefore does not bode well for the coming year.

Cutting it is always anti-growth, and perhaps the most direct contribution to growth that any Finance Minister can make is to prevent the PSDP being cut. Perhaps the most effective contribution any Finance Minister can make is to defend the PDSP.
