Artificial intelligence to drive new tax model, says Aurangzeb

Pakistan's Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced an AI-led tax administration model to minimize human intervention, alongside plans to launch Eurobonds, sukuk, and dollar-settled rupee-linked bonds. The government successfully issued a $250 million Panda Bond in 2026 with strong investor demand and emphasized export-led growth, reduced taxes, and increased lending to key sectors like SMEs and agriculture.
