The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has unveiled its comprehensive electoral manifesto, “Pakistan ko Nawaz Do” (Give Nawaz to Pakistan), outlining a comprehensive strategy for reviving the country across several domains. Achieving the substantial growth promised in the manifesto over the next five years presents a daunting task. The manifesto reaffirms its promise to maintain inflation under double digits by the end of 2025. According to the manifesto, the budget deficit would be managed at or below 3.5% by the end of FY-2028 and beyond. On the other hand, the IMF’s fiscal monitor forecasts a 4.4% fiscal deficit by FY-2028.
