Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb on Tuesday said that the newly approved tax administration model would rely on artificial intelligence\u00a0and technology to minimise human intervention in dealings between tax officials and taxpayers, and now notices will be issued by it.<\/p>\n

“Parliament has introduced a new tax administration operating model, and it has approved the new structure because it is a new engagement model between the tax administration and the taxpayers, where human intervention is going to be minimal. It is a very fundamental change because this is a model which is AI and technology-led, and notices will be issued by it,” Aurangzeb said while addressing the second edition of Pakistan Banking Summit 2026 in Karachi.<\/p>\n

The finance minister said that the current account performance remains strong due to record remittance flows.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do expect our overall remittances for this year to close anywhere between $41-42 billion.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the last fiscal year was closed on a strong note across all matrices, starting with the fiscal side, a primary surplus, an all-time low fiscal deficit, a debt-to-GDP ratio well below 70 per cent, and GDP growth closing at 3.7 per cent on the back of a strong rebound in LSM.<\/p>\n

Aurangzeb said we talk about the dip in exports, and indeed, from the good side, there was a dip, but that dip was concentrated on the food side, and value added, especially on the textile side, had continued to register year-on-year.<\/p>\n

He believed that the foreign exchange reserves would close at about $18.4 billion for this fiscal year, which is higher than the earlier estimates.<\/p>\n

“We started with the Eurobond and the most significant trade had been the Panda Bond because we had been at it for at least the last seven to eight years, and not tapping the second-largest, second-deepest capital market in the world had been a miss on our part.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the Pakistan Stock Exchange, he said that the activity drivers were more important than the PSX numbers and the number of investors, which had grown and, more importantly, the Gen Z investors were coming in as well as the corporate profitability, which had returned to double digits.<\/p>\n

Referring to this year\u2019s budget<\/a>, he said that, for the first time, the budget was led by the Tax Policy Office, which had been moved to the finance division.<\/p>\n

\u2018We focused on export-led growth, removing the advance tax, removing the super tax, low-cost subsidised financing, and continuing with the tariff regime.\u2019<\/p>\n

Aurangzeb thanked the prime minister and the cabinet in this regard.”We are also going to come up with a medium-term tax strategy,” he added.<\/p>\n

Aurangzeb said that access to finance and, therefore, the banking industry, would remain absolutely critical in terms of the government’s\u00a0journey from stabilisation to sustainable growth. Increased lending to SMEs, exporters, agriculture, manufacturing, construction and IT industries were\u00a0going to be mission-critical.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we have moved in the right direction, but there\u2019s a long, long way to go.\u2019<\/p>\n

Speaking on privatisation, he said that PIA was now securely in the private sector\u2019s hands and there were three DISCOS, whose roadshow was also complete as well as 28 institutions that had been handed over to the privatisation commission.<\/p>\n

He also lauded PBA and sought suggestions from the summit.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
