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.
