Abstract

Typically, we do not think big enough and do not try to make a change or put to practice a big idea – this seems to be one of the reasons why Pakistan, despite all the potential, has not grown the way other countries have. Here are the highlights of the initiatives of the KP government during around four years of political tenure. The key to growth, prosperity, and improving the job market is the availability and better use of financial resources. Recognising this, the province focused on increasing its revenues through the KP revenue authority—the province emphasised building its revenue-raising capacity by shifting control of the revenue authority from the excise department to the finance department, and by having new leadership at the helm in the Authority.
