  "summary": "Dr Faisal Hashmi, Founding Chairman of Beverages Advisory Foundation, has outlined key features of a proposed tax policy aimed at rationalising the tax burden, improving documentation and enforcement, and encouraging growth in Pakistan's manufacturing sector. The policy seeks to address the balance between strengthening domestic revenue mobilisation and supporting investment, production, and industrial growth without disproportionately burdening compliant businesses. Hashmi highlighted that while Pakistan's manufacturing sector grew by 5.77% during July-May 2025-26, the country's tax revenue ratio remains below the 25th percentile of comparable economies, indicating a need for broader documentation and a more inclusive tax base to support sustainable economic growth.",
