Buledi, in his concluding remarks, called this budget ‘people-friendly’. He said that that owing to the prevailing coronavirus pandemic and its ensuing economic crises, the provincial share in the federal resources and National Finance Commission Award (NFC) has been reduced. He projected an overall PKR 30 billion deduction in the provincial share. However, he said that the NFC Award share is covered by the constitution and Balochistan will surely get its 9.09% share.
