With $78 million allocated to the Digital Economy Enhancement Project, Pakistan aims to modernize its financial landscape through advanced technology and data-driven decision-making. This initiative seeks to enhance economic efficiency, coordination, and transparency across government institutions by embracing digitalization.

Simultaneously, $71.7 million is designated for the Indus Barrage Improvement Project, focusing on bolstering the nation’s defenses against flooding. By strengthening Pakistan’s canal system, the project aims to mitigate the impacts of severe floods and droughts.
