@DrAhsanRAJPUT @ShahidMohmand79 @PIDEpk @motasim @Speedman2016 @mosharrafzaidi @81ShahbazRana @bill_easterly The general perception on FA is the inflow of foreign currency but in most of the cases its source tied, project tied, technical assistance and so on. Donors adjusted their BoP and left Pak with more room for FA. With effective FA, we'd have moved to sustnble grwth after 10-15 Ys

"Tax expenditures" in Pakistan.
According to the latest report published by the FBR. The tax losses at federal level were Rs 2.24 trillion in FY 2022.
This makes the 36.4 pc of total FBR revenue collections in FY-22.
