Islamabad:
International Monetary Fund (IMF) ne Pakistan se talab kiya hai ke tax payers ke paison ka individual ya political maqasid ke liye ghalat istemal kam se kam ho aur Single Treasury Account (TSA) ke flow me financial discipline aur transparency ko behtar banaya jaye.
IMF ki Governance aur anti-corruption report (GCDA) ke mutabiq, pichlay 2 saalon me kuch behtari ke bawajood Pakistan ka budget credibility ab bhi kamzor hai, jo kai Governance challenges paida kar raha hai.
Report me kaha gaya ke public investment management me multiple deficiencies hain, jiske natije me projects me funding lambe arsay tak sustain nahi hoti, projects delay hote hain aur cost me izafa hota hai.
IMF ne 3 se 6 mahine ke andar urgent actions lene ka mutalba kiya hai, jisme:
- TSA ke institutional framework ko consolidate karna
- Cash management ko effective banana
- Analytical capabilities ko enhance karna
- Cash forecasting ke liye forward-looking methods adopt karna
Report me further kaha gaya ke kamzor TSA framework ne situation ko complex bana diya hai aur clear institutional boundaries na hone ki wajah se Government ke cash balance par control kamzor hai.
IMF ke mutabiq, wo institutions jo budget resources use karte hain lekin traditional financial accountability ke scope se bahar kaam karte hain, state institutions ko kamzor aur corruption risks ko barhate hain.
Report me ye bhi highlight kiya gaya ke parliamentary oversight weak hai kyun ke approved budget aur actual expenditures me large gap paaya jata hai.
IMF ne emphasize kiya ke corruption risks ko kam karna aur public financial management ki efficiency improve karna zaruri hai.
