The upcoming budget is expected to focus on export-led growth and fiscal consolidation under IMF pressure, with limited relief for essential commodities and petroleum products. Rising production costs from Middle East geopolitical tensions and unaffordable fuel prices are exacerbating consumer struggles, while revenue targets and tax measures remain priorities.
