The Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC) is set to meet on June 1, 2026, in Islamabad as preparations for the federal Budget 2026-27 move forward. The meeting is considered a key step in shaping the country’s development strategy and financial planning for the upcoming fiscal year.
The opening session will be held at the Pak Secretariat. Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal is expected to deliver the keynote address. Senior government officials and representatives from relevant departments will also participate in the discussions.
The APCC plays an important role in the Budget preparation process each year. The committee reviews national development priorities and evaluates proposed projects before recommendations are finalized. Its decisions help determine how public funds will be allocated across different sectors.
During the meeting, participants will discuss sector-wise development spending and public investment plans for FY2026-27. The committee will also examine proposed development schemes from both federal and provincial governments. These proposals are reviewed to ensure they align with national economic goals and development needs.
Another major focus of the session will be the assessment of key macroeconomic targets. Officials will discuss projections related to economic growth, inflation, and other important indicators for the next fiscal year. These targets serve as a foundation for broader economic planning and policy decisions.
The APCC meeting is also important because it helps finalize the Public Sector Development Program (PSDP). The PSDP outlines major government-funded projects and development initiatives. Once approved, it becomes a significant component of the federal Budget and guides public sector spending throughout the year.
Government officials view the session as a crucial milestone before the final Budget is presented. The recommendations made by the committee are expected to influence spending priorities and development allocations across the country.
