In a major development for national public finance management, macro-level tax infrastructure tracking and sovereign institutional auditing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has ordered the immediate acceleration of structural overhauls within the Federal Board of Revenue. Formally issued during an high profile executive assembly in Islamabad on October 19, 2026 the PM Shehbaz FBR modernization reform push mandates the comprehensive rollout of automated digital tracking sandboxes to completely eliminate human discretion and corruption.
State level metrics revealed at the briefing show that the national tax gap has successfully compressed from six percent down to five percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over a three year period. To sustain this upward trajectory the premier ordered the rapid implementation of a completely faceless tax collection network while confirming that 957 third-party contract auditors have been recruited to increase the agency’s gross audit capability fourfold. Furthermore, newly onboarded operational officers are undergoing intensive management training blocks at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) coupled with a newly introduced peer-rating evaluation structure to enforce transparency.
