'Mini-budget': President Alvi approves Finance Bill (Supplementary) 2022

Islamabad: President Dr Arif Alvi on Saturday accorded an approval to the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2022-- what the Opposition called it as mini-budget-- under Article 75 of the Constitution.

The Finance Bill was adopted by the National Assembly on January 13.

During January 13 session of the National Assembly, the Opposition benches continued lashing out at the treasury benches to hit the masses hard with "new taxes".

The bill was passed to fulfill the requirements of the International Monetray Fund (IMF) for the relerase of $6 billion tranche.
