Islamabad, June 21; Youth Parliament Pakistan presented its ‘Youth Financial Policy 2012’ on the 3rd day of their 3rd Parliamentary session. The Youth Financial Policy 2012 was presented by the Youth Minister for Finance Planning Affairs and Economics Mr. Ahmed Numair Farooq (YP21-Punjab01). The policy stressed on increasing the tax income by levying Agricultural tax, broadening tax base and ensuring tax recovery from all economic sectors and all segments of society.  “The accountability of military budget, promotion of cottage industry and increase in public sector spending particularly on power projects can save the economy of the country which is on the verge of collapse,” said the Minister. A reform in the trade policy was also demanded by the Youth Parliament Pakistan.

The members proposed the need of sincere and efficient management to run these institutions; which are of immense national importance.

Mr. Najeeb Abid Baloch (YP05-Balochistan03) presented a parliamentary bill on the welfare of ‘Balochistan’. The bill proposed for devolution of National Ports and Shipping sector to the respective provinces.
