Pakistan sees room to improve FY27 outlook after Iran war ends, says Finance Minister Aurangzeb

Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb sees potential economic upsides for fiscal year 2027 following the end of the Iran conflict. However, he cautioned that it is too early to revise the budget presented just days ago. The government's immediate focus was managing the conflict's impact on energy and inflation. The FY27 budget projects 4% growth and 8.2% inflation.
