<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--><b>ISLAMABAD - Contrary to what the previous rulers claimed, the government Wednesday issued a bare factsheet on economic front, which negated all tall claims of "unprecedented economic growth", breaking the begging bowl and taking the poor out of poverty.
Unearthing what the Pakistan Democratic Alliance inherited from the Shaukat Aziz-led setup, the Federal Finance Minister, Ishaq Dar shared the "balance sheet" with the media, according to which the real GDP growth will remain at 6 per cent instead of the last governmentâs target of 7.2 per cent for fiscal year 2007-08, inflation will soar to 10 per cent instead of 6.5 per cent, revenue collection will stand at Rs 990 billion, not Rs 1025 billion.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
