Every figure on this platform is sourced exclusively from official Pakistani government and regulatory authorities: the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), and the IMF Article IV and Staff Reports. We do not use third-party estimates without disclosure.
No Government Funding.
PublicFinance.pk is independently funded and carries no advertising from state institutions, political parties, or entities subject to our coverage. Our editorial team operates under a strict conflict-of-interest policy. All quantitative claims are verified against primary source documents before publication.

When we make errors, we correct them prominently and with full transparency. Corrections are appended to original articles with a timestamp. If you find a factual error, contact us at corrections@publicfinance.pk and we will investigate within 48 hours.
How We Verify Every Figure.
Every data point published on PublicFinance.pk is traced to a primary source document — SBP statistical bulletins, FBR revenue reports, Ministry of Finance budget statements, PBS CPI releases, or IMF staff reports. We do not cite secondary media reports without independent verification.
All analytical claims undergo a two-person review process. Where projections or estimates are used, they are clearly labelled. Where official data conflicts across sources, we disclose the discrepancy transparently.
