Punjab posted a surplus of Rs348 billion, Sindh Rs283 billion, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Rs176 billion, and Balochistan Rs114 billion. In a separate meeting, officials from the Power Division briefed the visiting IMF mission on the status of energy sector reforms. The Fund reportedly expressed concerns over inefficiencies, including high system losses and expensive capacity payments made to underutilised power plants. Authorities claimed that the stock of circular debt has already been reduced to Rs397 billion, down from earlier projections of Rs635 billion. The government shared plans to utilise surplus electricity for industrial consumption and cryptocurrency mining, while reaffirming its commitment to transferring control of loss-making entities to the private sector.
