Pakistan increases military budget to 130 billion rupees

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I heard that Pakistan has boosted its defence budget
to 130 billion Rupees , about 2.0 billion USD dollars for defence budget

New defence budget is at about 5 billion USD for Pakistan enough to easily bring in 40-50 F16 C/D or J10B or JF17 thunder or other projects

If they pay us what they owe ... They just being a pain in the back by deliberately delaying the payments. We fight for them and this is what we get in return from our so called friends!!

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Pakistan should really be getting 10 billion/20 billion per year for its active role in war on terror

We are giving better results then the 800 billion dollars wasted by US forces yearly its probbly best if they just pay us 20-40 billion dollars a year , to fix afghanistan ...its more cost effective solution

Save 800 billion yearly

Peanuts my friend.. peanuts. That's what we are getting to wash our hands with blood and not to forget still being insulted all over the world! We will be pushed around till we allow them to. But the million dollar question is.. who will stop them from treating us like this?! Clearly I dont see the military or GoP doing it. So the insults carry on and on....

Pak defence budget set to increase by at least Rs130 billion

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's defence budget is set to increase by at least Rs 130 billion due to ongoing military operations against militants and increased salaries for military personnel, a media report said here today.

By June this year, Pakistan's defence expenditure might rise to Rs205 billion because of the military operations and increased salaries for the armed forces.

However, the country could project an increase of Rs 130 billion in the defence expenditure during talks with the International Monetary Fund.

This could pave the way for achieving broader consensus with the IMF for increasing the fiscal deficit target up to 5.1% of GDP, from the earlier envisaged target of 4.9%, The News daily reported.

A senior government official, who took part in the recently concluded talks between Pakistan and the IMF in Dubai, said the fiscal target was allowed to grow due to increased expenditure on security and rising subsidies during the current fiscal year.

The Pakistan government last month allocated an additional Rs35 billion for the 2009-10 defence budget due to expenses on anti-militancy operations and the need to acquire modern equipment to counter a perceived threat from India.

Following the additional allocation, Pakistan's defence budget increased to about Rs378 billion.
