Financial Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed said, the next government will decide on the new salary commission. My final discussion with the IMF will be on the 15th. He told reporters after the meeting of the Advisory Council Committee on Government Procurement and the Advisory Council Committee on Economic Affairs at the Secretariat today, Sunday (November 9).
\nThe Financial Advisor said, “I had a Zoom conversation with the IMF. They said that we are very happy with your overall economic aspect. Okay, you have done what you are trying to do. They have some recommendations. For example, you need to increase your revenue. I have admitted that the tax-GDP ratio is low. There are many reasons for this. Our people do not want to pay taxes. Also, the NBR was closed for two months. We have a big… for this”
\nSalehuddin Ahmed added, “We are trying.” Secondly, they (IMF) have another discovery to spend more on social security, especially health, education, social security and food sectors. We are doing fairly well in the food sector.
\nMeanwhile, the Chief Adviser Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus has announced the national elections in February 2026. In the meantime, various political parties have started announcing election candidates. Many leaders and workers are campaigning. Discussions have been going on for a long time about the salary scale. Meanwhile, the Finance Adviser has said that the decision on the new pay commission will be taken by the next government.
