Budget 2026–27 expected at 3 PM, subject to last-minute delay

June 12, 2026 (MLN): The Federal Budget for the fiscal year 2026–27 is set to be presented in the National Assembly today, with the official schedule indicating a 3:00 PM start, though the session is expected to commence later than planned.

According to updates shared within government circles, a Cabinet meeting has been scheduled for 2:00 PM ahead of the budget presentation.

However, sources note that such meetings often extend beyond their allotted time, which may push the budget announcement closer to 4:00 PM.

Confirming the schedule, sources indicated that while 3:00 PM remains the notified time for the budget presentation in the National Assembly, procedural delays are common on budget day due to pre-session approvals and final policy briefings.

The Federal Budget 2026–27 is expected to outline key fiscal targets, revenue measures, and spending priorities for the upcoming year, drawing close attention from markets, businesses, and policy observers across the country.

Further details will emerge once the Finance Minister presents the budget before the House later in the day.
