Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has said Pakistan could improve economic projections for the next fiscal year after the end of the Iran war.

In an interview with Reuters, he, however, said it is still too early to revise the budget.

The Finance Minister said Pakistan plans further Panda Bond, Eurobond, US dollar and first rupee-linked, dollar-settled issues, though the sizes have yet to be decided.

Muhammad Aurangzeb said Pakistan would regulate crypto, tokenisation and digital-asset exchanges before taxing the sector, saying revenue gains would follow once it was formalized.
