Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif would chair the meeting of National Economic Council (NEC) today (Monday, June 10). The newly reconstituted National Economic Council (NEC) is likely to approve on Monday a record Rs1.13 trillion Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for next fiscal year (2013-14), about Rs262 billion or 30 per cent higher than current year’s allocation of Rs873bn. The country’s highest economic decision-making body is also expected to set an economic growth target of 4.4 per cent against current year’s estimated real GDP growth rate of 3.6 per cent. The four federal members nominated by the Prime Minister include Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Water and Power Minister Khawaja Asif, Planning and Development Minister Ahsan Iqbal and Minister for Industries and Production Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi.
