The Advisers Council Committee on Economic Affairs has recommended for approving two major proposals in principle including the import of refined fuel oil through a government-to-government (G2G) arrangement for the 2026 calendar year and the procurement of e-passport materials under the Home Ministry.
The approvals came from the 34th meeting of the Economic Affairs committee in this year held recently chaired virtually by Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed. Under the first proposal, the Energy and Mineral Resources Division sought policy approval for the purchase and import of refined fuel oil under the direct purchase method through G2G arrangements for the period of January to December 2026.
After reviewing the submission, the committee recommended the proposal in principle recognizing the importance of ensuring a stable supply of fuel oil to meet the country’s energy demands.
