Balochistan Finance Minister Says Operating Mines Would Create Jobs

Finance Minister of Balochistan Mir Shuaib Noshirwani said that if mines in the province were operational, people would have job opportunities. Speaking to the media in Quetta, the provincial capital, he stated that the Balochistan budget will be presented after the federal budget. He added that the upcoming budget will give higher priority to the education and health departments, and that the non‑development budget for the fiscal year 2025‑26 has already been fully released. The Chief Minister is reviewing every scheme. Noshirwani noted that Balochistan has its own stance on the NFC, and that there is no industry in the province; cement and steel are sourced from other provinces. He expressed a desire to include the area as an indicator and explained that the Mineral Investment Facilitation Authority’s role is to provide support to mineral mines. He said many mines were allocated and then abandoned; if work resumed at these mines, employment would increase. He thanked government employees for their patience given the country’s circumstances. The finance minister emphasized that the province must stand on its own feet, that the Chief Minister chairs the Public‑Private Partnership Board, and that Balochistan will have its own insurance company.
