Introduction
This report reviews the first six months of the federal government’s economic performance spanning over June-December 2013 in the light of PML-N economic agenda, now the ruling party. Developed on the pattern of a scorecard, the report allocates scores on 26 goals identified by PML-N manifesto based on its performance in three areas: Economic Revival, Energy Security and Social Protection.
The score is assigned on an objective and quantifiable criteria and is not based on perceptions of any individuals. To ensure reliability, the score has been assigned on three distinct parameters: policy and legislative developments, institutional reforms, and implementation.
The report and scorecard has been compiled by a team comprising political scientists and economists. It has been shared with a select audience from the business community, politicians and economists for the purpose of feedback and has undergone several revisions.
The purpose of ‚Tracking the Implementation of PML-N Economic Agenda? project is to initiate and inform policy dialogue and public debate on the implementation of the economic agenda of PML-N central government. This tracking directly serves the basic principle of a functioning democracy: accountability.
