Interim government’s financial adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed announced that financial benefits for officials and employees of government, semi-government, autonomous, and state-owned organizations are being increased. Alongside, the government plans to introduce a new pay scale soon. He also stated that arrears related to subsidies are being cleared. Following an advisory council meeting on public procurement, he dismissed reports suggesting the government is worried about financing the increased expenditure due to stagnant revenue collection. Dr. Ahmed emphasized that while the economy remains stable, challenges such as poverty reduction and food price inflation persist. To ensure food security, the government decided to import 50,000 metric tons each of wheat and rice—wheat from the United States and rice from India. He added that there is no shortage of rice in the country, but maintaining adequate reserves is essential. The Open Market Sale (OMS) program has also resumed to control prices.
