Advisor to the Finance Minister, Khurram Schehzad, confirmed that the federal budget for 2025–26 will be presented on June 10, 2025. He rejected media reports that claimed the Eid-al-Adha holidays could delay the budget.
Several media outlets suggested that the budget, originally expected on June 2, might be shifted to June 12 due to Eid al-Adha falling on June 7. These reports pointed to possible scheduling issues caused by the holidays.
Schehzad cleared the confusion in a post on X. He stated, “The June 10, 2025, release of the next Federal Budget FY26 is on track as previously stated.” He added that the Pakistan Economic Survey FY25 will also be released as planned on June 9, 2025.
As communicated earlier, the upcoming Federal Budget FY26 is on schedule to be announced on June 10, 2025.
Similarly, the upcoming Pakistan Economic Survey FY25 is scheduled to be announced on June 9, 2025.@Financegovpk @PakPMO#PakistanBudget #EconomicSurvey #MoF

Finance Secretary Imdadullah Bosal confirmed the same. While speaking to the media on Thursday, he said the budget will be announced on June 10. He noted that the Annual Plan Coordination Committee (APCC) meeting date is still undecided.
He also said the National Economic Council (NEC) meeting date may change, but the budget date is fixed.
Earlier this week, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announced that the Zil Hajj moon was not sighted. This means Eid al-Adha will be observed on June 7. The government usually declares three public holidays for Eid al-Adha.
During these days, people perform religious rituals, including animal sacrifice. This year, the third day of Eid will fall on June 9, the same day the government plans to release the Economic Survey.
Despite the Eid holidays, the Finance Ministry has assured that both the federal budget and the economic survey will be presented on their scheduled dates.
