August 21, 2018
ISLAMABAD, Aug 21 (INP): Finance Minister Asad Umar said that the first decision of the new cabinet was to form a high-powered taskforce to recover unlawful wealth stashed abroad. In a tweet message, he said that PTI will make revolutionary changes in economy with support of the people. He stressed tax base will be increased for revenue generation by revamping the FBR. Finance Minister said the looted wealth of the country will be brought back and people’s money will be spent on people. He noted that all decisions will be made in parliament. “After approval from the cabinet, bonds and sukuk will be issued for overseas Pakistanis. The task force will present its report in two weeks. No information is yet present regarding the foreign assets of Pakistanis but they have done $8 billion investment in Dubai alone,” he explained. All the steps can be successful only with the cooperation of people, added Umar. Asad Umar said the newly elected government will create employment opportunities for youth as part of its election manifesto.
