Islamabad July 28 2021: The Finance Division tabled a summary to carry forward for FY 2021-22, the un-utilized cash component equal to PKR 352 billion out of the Economic Stimulus Package amounting to PKR 1240 billion (given in March 2020) to mitigate the adverse socio-economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and to support the marginalized sections of the society.

The funds were allocated under the Economic Stimulus Package for the entire duration of the COVID-19 pandemic irrespective of the financial year. Foregoing in view, the ECC re-validated the amount of PKR 352 billion for the FY 2021-22 for meeting related expenditures including procurement of vaccine for COVID-19 (during the ongoing fourth wave) as the Federal Government aims to vaccinate at least 85 million by December 2021.
