Fiscal Federalism in Pakistan

Fiscal Federalism in Pakistan is a comprehensive study of the distribution of financial powers and resources between the federal and provincial governments of Pakistan. The book examines the evolution of fiscal arrangements since independence, focusing on how constitutional frameworks, political agreements, and economic policies have shaped the country’s federal structure.

Key attention is given to the National Finance Commission (NFC) Awards, revenue-sharing mechanisms, taxation policies, and expenditure responsibilities between the center and provinces. The book also explores challenges such as regional disparities, resource mobilization, fiscal autonomy, and governance issues that continue to affect Pakistan’s economic and political stability.

Written in a clear and analytical style, the book is an essential resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and economists interested in understanding Pakistan’s fiscal system and the broader implications of federalism, decentralization, and economic governance.
