Furthermore, he told that Pakistan Steels Mills (PSM) will be revamped, and six companies have showed interest in the plan. He said that for the time being, the PSM will be run on public private partnership mode.

The minister told that the capacity of the office of Auditor General of Pakistan will be enhanced, and Advisor on Institutional Reforms and Austerity Dr. Ishrat Husain has been given the task to present recommendations for it in two months.

Fawad Chaudhry further said that the Federal Cabinet has decided to further discuss the Asset Declaration Scheme, and a meeting to this effect has been convened by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday (tomorrow).
