The Pakistani government plans to make the assets of senior bureaucrats transparent by publishing details on a dedicated government website, according to a briefing provided to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This initiative was discussed during discussions between Pakistan and the IMF regarding the fourth review of the $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) program.
Representatives from the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Establishment Division, and Finance Division briefed the IMF delegation on measures concerning asset declarations by civil servants. The IMF was informed about newly introduced legislation aimed at regulating the financial behavior of government employees. A new Section 15-A has been incorporated into the Civil Servants Act to facilitate this process.
Under the proposed guidelines, officers in grades 17 to 22 will be obligated to disclose their assets. These details will also be accessible through a designated government website. FBR officials separately discussed customs and income tax issues with the IMF, while relevant policy divisions provided updates on tax policies. The Secretary of the Establishment Division and the Secretary of the Finance Division also took part in the discussions, according to sources.
