It is good to know that the finance division has effectively dispelled misperceptions about the budget and expenditure figures for Prime Minister's Office. The detractors of PTI government are therefore required to understand that PM Office has actually reduced its expenditure by 32 percent during the FY 2018-19. Its next year budgetary allocation is 12 percent less than the budget for 2018-19. It is expected that the coordinated effort to bring austerity through rationalisation of current federal expenditures would continue in future under the high standards set by the PM Office, based on the PM's vision of cutting down expenditures.
We all know that the nation is facing a profound economic situation in which people's living standards have to be reduced because of economic difficulties. Austerity and simplicity: these pillars remain as priorities in PM Imran Khan's economic strategy.
