The federal government's expenditure under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the fiscal year 2025-26 has reached 27% of the allocated Rs1 trillion budget within the first seven months, as reported by both Profit by Pakistan Today and Dawn. This amounts to Rs272.8 billion spent out of the Rs338.2 billion sanctioned, a slight improvement from the previous year's 20% utilization rate. However, this falls short of the government's target of 43% utilization, or Rs443 billion, by January 31, 2026. The infrastructure sector, which received a significant allocation of Rs614.7 billion, spent Rs156.4 billion, marking 25% utilization. The transport and communication sector, with the highest allocation of Rs325.6 billion, only spent 24.7% of its budget. Notably, the energy sector lagged with just 8.5% of its budget spent, while the physical planning and housing sector utilized 45% of its allocation, as detailed by Dawn.
