Federal Minister Rana Sanaullah stated that the Finance Minister promised to seek an extension of tax exemptions for the merged districts of the erstwhile Fata and Pata regions after speaking with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). According to Dawn, Sanaullah made this report following a meeting between key leaders from the government and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) held in the chamber of Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb at Parliament House. Amir Muqam attended the meeting from the government side, while Asad Qaiser, Junaid Akbar, and PTI MNAs from the erstwhile Fata represented the opposition.

Separately, jailed PTI leaders Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Dr Yasmin Rashid, Mian Mahmood-ur-Rashid, Ejaz Chaudhry, and Omar Sarfraz Cheema communicated a letter through their lawyer, Rana Mudassir. Reported by Geo TV, the leaders argued that constitutional supremacy and political stability must precede any meaningful economic reform. They stated that Pakistan needs a political charter before an economic one, contrasting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s recent calls for a 'Charter of Economy' and a 'Charter of Democracy'.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif renewed his call for these charters in an address to the National Assembly on June 13. As reported by Geo TV, he urged the opposition to set aside political differences in the national interest and invited political rivals to work together on the two charters. The Prime Minister’s invitation for cooperation came as the government and opposition engaged in discussions regarding both economic frameworks and regional tax policies.
