What's new

Next defence budget may touch $ 7.5 Billion.

does that increase budget for your rangers as well or just armed forces?
 
problem is taxation. you should know that countries have atleast 18-20% gdp of taxation. if you revenues are , GDP doesnt really matter.
our taxation are very very low at just 9.5% up 8.33% previous yr
 
Yeah.. we tell we nuke you if an ant crosses over.. and India tells us we nuke you if an ant crosses over.
everybody will be just fine.

The answer is obvious. The Ants are to blame.

Death to the Ants.
 
It does look like Pakistan is looking to strengthen and improve its defense need. But the education and health sector should not be compromised. Pakistan has one of the worst mortality rate. Sometimes just because of a lack of basic medicines small babies are dying in government hospitals in Pakistan.

Yes, but security, law and order should be of prime importance right now. Our girls are out of school, businesses can't function normally, so more unemployed are on the streets, hospitals are being targeted for providing life-saving vaccinations. Our investments are ineffective if we cannot secure them. We need a safe business-friendly environment for better health and education.
 
I think these People think only living souls in Pakistan are these 600k soldiers and another 5k feudals/politicians. rest of the population of 179 million can go and F itself !!!
Just simply Pathetic !!!!! These jack asses are in arms race with India, and they will lose this even more badly than what their record say's on the battlefield !!!
No offence but this post is full of arrogance, stupidity and shouts burger bacha personality
 
Defense budget + USDefenseAid + Some Defense Contracts this year then There should be something happen good this year. Good luck Defense Sect. They should start R&D in helicopters and must invest some money in cyber sector. We are far behind in this field compare to india.
 
7.5Billion dollars is 2.7% of Pakistan GDP.(GDP by june 2014)

As per Economic traders Pakistan GDP will reach 304Billion dollars by 2015.

Hence our Next year Defence Budget with 2.7% Allocation will be 8.6Billion dollars.

Add to this a 15% Increase Next year.

Budget of 2015=9.8Billion dollars

With similar calculation D Budget of 2016=12.7Billion dollars

With Similar Calculation D Budget 2017=15.1Billion dollars

With SImilar Calculation of 2018 or when This govt would be leaving=18.9Billion dollars

Hence by the time Nawaz Govt will be leaving our Budget will be 2.7times more than what is today.

And with roughly 19Billion dollars Budget in 2018.

We can start Aircraft carrier sort of project.Investing in a 5th generation fighter aircraft program would be done probably by 2016 When our Budget will hit 15Billion dollars mark

Tere mu che ghee shakar if this turn out to be true, all depends on GDP growth rate.

ISLAMABAD - The government has decided to increase national defence budget for the upcoming financial year 2014-2015 after Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif Saturday met with Finance Minister Senator Ishaq Dar, who termed it a routine meeting and did not reveal level of increase to be made.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar called on Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Raheel Sharif at GHQ (General Headquarter) Rawalpindi and they discussed issues related to development programmes of Pakistan Army and the upcoming defence budget, the official statements issued by finance ministry and ISPR (Inter Services Public Relations) stated, without dropping any hint at the expected level of increase in defence budget.
The brief statement of finance ministry however said, “The finance minister acknowledged the need to ensure fulfilment of the requirements of the defence in the light of current security situation. He assured the army chief that defence is of paramount importance to the country and hence necessary resources will be allocated.”
“It was a routine meeting and we have not finalised the defence budget yet, as we are trying to work it out it in next couple of months,” said Minister Senator Dar while talking to The Nation. “How can I inform you about the defence budget in the month of March when annual budget is to be finalised and announced in May or June,” he replied to a question.
Sources informed that military chief has asked to enhance the budget keeping in view the soaring inflation that increased the expenditure of the defence sector. The finance minister said that government would provide every possible financial support to the armed forces so they could carry out their mission of defending the motherland.
Sources were of the view that government might increase the defence budget by 15-20 percent for the next financial year 2014-2015. Defence budget might go around to Rs700 to Rs750 billion for the upcoming fiscal year, against the Rs627 billion of the ongoing year, the said. However, these figures are speculative yet.
The government cut the expenditure of all ministries by 30 percent last year but no reduction was made in the defence budget. The finance ministry is most likely to not cut the defence sector expenditure for next financial year as well and increase the overall volume of defence budget instead.

Next defence budget may touch Rs750b
Our economy sucks other wise our budget should be at least 20 billion dollars in fact more than that

Perhaps some money is going to be funneled to a project that cannot be named.
Either way its a need of the hour. Since strategic projects run around a 5 year fiscal term, we are looking at 37.5 Billion dollars.
sir our need is lot more than this our economy sucks other wise we should have budget of 3 times more than expected

It sounds distinctly absurd when a nation with that strong military establishment, agencies cry of a poor economy...someone is not doing its job satisfactorily .
