The first meeting of the Eleventh National Finance Commission was held today in Islamabad, where Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb urged the federation and provinces to approach the new revenue sharing negotiations with unity, openness and mutual respect.
Chairing the inaugural session, he welcomed the chief ministers, provincial finance ministers and other members, saying the gathering marked an important constitutional responsibility as well as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation between governments.
Aurangzeb highlighted that the Tenth NFC Award had expired on July 21, 2025, which increased the urgency of convening today’s session.
He said the federal government had been committed to beginning the Eleventh NFC process without delay and that the prime minister had personally followed the matter to ensure timely progress.
The minister noted that the meeting had previously been postponed due to severe floods in Punjab, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He added that the provinces have shown full willingness to fulfil their constitutional duties and participate constructively in the new award.
