Presenting the budget estimates for the new fiscal year before a joint sitting of the Federal Parliament today, Finance Minister Barshaman Pun said that the focus will be on economic reforms.

 According to the Finance Minister, the budget aims to address long-standing challenges in the economy, including an imbalance in public finances, an increasing size of public debt, limited capital expenditures, and a lack of revenue collection as per the targets.
