Web Desk\u2014<\/strong>Federal Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was surprised to see the economic growth we attained in just 14 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking to the media in Islamabad on Sunday, the finance minister claimed that the inflation rate had reduced from 38 percent to 7 percent, adding that Pakistan\u2019s foreign exchange reserves were enough to meet the next 2.5 months’ import bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also talked about the recent visit of the IMF mission to Pakistan, saying it is an ongoing dialogue process, and discussions were held on energy and SOE reforms, the privatization agenda, and public finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the government was firm on compliance and enforcement regarding tax collection and every sector would have to play its due role in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A country needs taxes to sustain long-term growth, he said, adding that \u201cCountries do not and cannot run on charity or donations.\u201d
Meanwhile, he admitted that the salaried class was already overburdened. The finance minister said increasing taxes was not a solution, rather the expansion of the tax net should be the ultimate goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
