Budget FY22 - The Penultimate Chapter - Growth Back in Focus
Budget FY22 - The Penultimate Chapter - Growth Back in Focus
The Government has announced its third budget, which is focused towards stimulating growth, after Medium Term Macroeconomic Indicators
achieving stabilization. The number of relief measures outweigh the revenue measures, where the FY21B FY21R FY22B FY23F FY24F
goal is to achieve revenue targets through growing the size of the economy rather than burdening Real GDP Growth (%) 2.1 3.9 5.0 5.7 6.4
existing tax payers with new taxes. Inflation (%) 6.5 9.0 8.2 7.2 6.4
GDP - MP (PKR'bn) 45,567 47,709 53,867 60,811 70,151
We believe that the economic growth targets set by the Govt. would help in increasing revenue base As % of GDP
as most of the indirect taxation is linked to external trade. Having said that, achieving 24% growth in Total Federal Revenue 14.4 13.4 14.7 14.9 14.9
revenue (FY22B: PKR7.9tr) would still be an uphill task. With no major tax measures, increasing direct

tax collection by 22% (PKR393bn) would be difficult.
Non Tax Revenue 3.5 3.6 3.8 3.3 3.0
Total Federal Expenditure 15.7 15.4 15.8 14.6 13.2
On non-tax revenue front, one of the major challenges on that front would be to accomplish

Petroleum Levy Target, which has been set at hefty PKR610bn vs revised number of PKR500bn for

FY21. To highlight, our estimate indicates that the PL collection would clock in at PKR418bn in FY21,
as the Govt. has reduced PL to very low levels of PKR4.8/litre. Other challenges to non-tax revenue Fiscal Balance -7.0 -7.1 -6.3 -5.3 -3.9
collection include GIDC target of PKR130bn vs PKR25bn in FY21, and dividends of PKR90bn vs Primary Balance -0.5 -1.2 -0.7 0.2 1.2
PKR40bn in FY21. Thus, the fiscal deficit might come in higher than the target of 6.3% of GDP. Public Debt 87.6 83.1 81.8 79.1 73.9

From the equity market perspective, the budget is a positive one, where various incentives have been
offered to businesses/capital markets including i) reduction in CGT to 12.5%, ii) duty concessions on
raw materials, iii) increase in PSDP allocation to PKR900bn, iv) zero rating for IT sector, and v) removal
of WHT on banking transactions.
Some of the major proposals which did not materialize include i) reduction in FED on cements, ii)
lower tax rate for Banks, iii) restoring relief on intercorporate dividend and iv) restoring tax credit for
new listings on PSX.
We believe that the clear winners of this budget would be Construction & Allied sector, Automobiles,
IT and Pharmaceutical. Some of the key beneficiaries of this budget include PSMC, ASL, ISL, MTL,
AGTL, SYS, AVN, NETSOL, QUICE, SHEZ, and MUREB.
The budget consists of an estimated outlay of PKR 8,487bn, up by 16% from the last Other, PKR 124,

Major heads of the Current expenditure are expected to witness minimal growth,
while subsidy & grants would witness the major growth.
Major uptick in Govt expenditures is expected to come from sizeable increase in the FY22 Federal PSDP- NHA to gain lion’s share
PSDP allocation. NHA would receive the highest allocation of PKR 114bn in FY22 as again
well. Key projects targeted by the Govt under PSDP are as follows:

Sectoral measures
• Capital gain tax on securities has been reduced to 12.5% from 15% for filers against PSX proposed rate of
10% (holding period less than 6 months) & 7.5% (holding period: 6-12 months).
• Exemption to Special Economic Zones enterprises from payment of minimum turnover tax is likely to
improve profitability of KIA Motors, Service Long March Tyres, PABC.
• Sales tax has reduced from 17.0% to 12.5% on cars engine capacity upto 850cc along with the expected removal of
VAT. To further reduce the prices of lower car segments, FED of 2.5% has been abolished on small cars (upto 850cc
engine). This would bode well for PSMC as this is the only listed players dealing in small car segments.
Positive
• Incentives for the electric vehicles given by reducing sales tax to 1% supplied by local manufacturers and
exemption of sales tax on the import of CKD kits for electric vehicles. We believe this is neutral for the sector as
there no automobile manufacturers of electric vehicles.
• Interest free loan of PKR 200,000 for the purchase of Tractors and Machinery would push the demand of Tractors
and is expected to bode well for the listed space including MTL and AGTL.
• Reduction/exemption of CD, ACD and RD on import of HRC and Stainless Steel. This would bode well for local CRC
manufacturers (ISL and ASL) as well as the tubular steel manufacturers (INIL, CSAP).
Positive
• Currently, the CD is reduced to 5% for CRC manufacturers and is exempted from RD, whereas tubular steel
manufacturers CD is 11% along with RD of 6%.
• 17% FED which is payable in sales tax mode removed on steel ingots, billets, ship plates, bars and other long re-
rolled profiles

help the value added sector as yarn in local market is not enough for consumption.
