Pakistan. Punjab outperforms K-P (Pervez Tahir, South Asia Monitor)

In an editorial last month, this paper had urged on a healthy competition between the provinces in the social sector. This competition can be monitored by looking at what the federal government calls pro-poor expenditures. The related dataset is regularly placed in the public domain on a quarterly basis. The last such exercise relates to nine months of the fiscal year 2015-16. Information is provided by the provinces themselves and the federal government, by adding its own contribution, just presents a consolidated picture. Its authenticity and reliability depends on the stage of the data collection. The data used here is at the provisional stage.
