Author(s) Talat Hussain

Abstract The primary goal of this study was to analyze the impact of Budgetary Allocations on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Pakistan with comparative analysis with Bangladesh. Budgetary allocations were the independent variables which includes Education, Health, Infrastructure and Agricultural spending by governments while economic growth and poverty reduction was taken as dependent variable. Economic growth included GDP growth rate while Poverty reduction included Per Capita Income. The study used annual time series data ranging from 1972 – 2023 for both Pakistan and Bangladesh. E Views software was used for data analysis. Research utilized ADF unit root test to check stationarity of data. Correlational analysis confirmed that Education, Health, Infrastructure and Agricultural spending are significantly positively correlated to Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction for both Pakistan and Bangladesh. Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) was then applied which yielded significant impact of budgetary allocations such as Educational spending, Health spending, Infrastructural spending and Agricultural spending on Economic Growth in Bangladesh and Pakistan. In summary comparison, it is identified that Bangladesh spending is more than Pakistan which accounts for greater impact on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction. It is proposed that Pakistan should increase its spending on these sectors for achieving rapid Economic growth and Poverty reduction.
