  "textContent": "Finance Minister Muhammad Auranzgeb is currently addressing the National Assembly on matters pertaining to the proposed budget for FY27.\n\nHis address follows the NA’s discussions earlier in the day on 140 recommendations made by the Senate on the budget.\n\nAurangzeb noted that a privilege motion had been moved by Khawaja Sheraz Mehmood and Azimuddin Zahid, which contended that the budget document had discrepancies.\n\nHe added that questions were raised on the GDP growth, the per capita income and their methodology.\n\nThe minister explained that the real GDP growth was calculated after adjusting for changes in economic activities and their impact on prices.\n\n“This is why the 3.7pc GDP growth reported by PBS (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics) has been calculated on the constant prices of base year FY15-26,” he said, adding that it was an international standard from a methodology perspective.\n\nThe finance czar then elaborated that the nominal GDP, which is calculated on current market prices, differed from the real GDP in “both concept and measurement”.\n\n* * *\n\n_More to follow_",
