Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb chaired the meeting, which aimed to review the bi-annual performance of federal SOEs and discuss the government's reform agenda.
The committee highlighted the importance of commercial performance improvement, financial discipline strengthening, and reduced dependence on public support as key objectives. Identified areas requiring sustained attention included circular debt and fiscal risks, operational weaknesses in the power and infrastructure sectors, corporate governance gaps, and the need for stronger board effectiveness and accountability.
In an effort to enhance transparency and data-driven governance, the committee was briefed on the Central Monitoring Unit's (CMU) integrated digital reporting and analytics platform for SOEs. This platform centralizes SOE data, enabling standardized reporting, digital dashboards, and advanced financial and operational analytics to better monitor performance, identify risks, and assess entities against agreed targets.
