Government introduces PPE and Lease Manual to strengthen SOE governance, curb liabilities, and improve accountability. The event was organized by the Scheme on SOE Governance under the Strengthening Public Financial Management Program to Enable Service Delivery (SPFMS), Finance Division (FD). Without stronger oversight, these hidden risks can suddenly become direct government expenditures, undermining fiscal stability and public service delivery. Ibrahim Khalid, Director, SoE Wing, FD made presentation and the moderator was Rahima Begum, Director General, Monitoring Cell, FD. Policy actions include enacting a comprehensive SOE law, publishing an annual fiscal risk statement, updating the PPE Manual, strengthening corporate governance practices, and promoting equity financing to reduce reliance on government transfers.
