After 16 years, Pakistan has decided to exclude the Coalition Support Fund (CSF) receipts from the US from its new fiscal year budget estimates. The decision has been taken during the pre-budget meetings being held in the finance ministry. CSF payments are reimbursements of the cost that Pakistan has incurred while fighting the US-led global war against terrorism. Since 2001 when Pakistan became a frontline state in the war against terror, the country received CSF at an average of $ 971.5Mn per annum. However, the US did not disburse any sum in the past one year while it still owes $ 9Bn to Pakistan. Miftah Ismail, Adviser to the PM on Finance, said Pakistan has sufficient resources to meet its defense needs and can also take care of people affected by war against terrorism.
