Government Increases Loan Limits for Youth Business and Agriculture Scheme

November 8, 2026 • 24 minutes ago •

ISLAMABAD: The federal government has announced an increase in the loan limits for the ‘Prime Minister Youth Business and Agriculture Loan’ scheme aimed at empowering young entrepreneurs. This decision was made during a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on November 8, 2026.

According to a statement released from the Prime Minister’s House, the initiative is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to support youth in starting their own businesses and enhancing agricultural productivity. The revised loan limits are expected to provide greater financial assistance to young individuals seeking to establish or expand their ventures.

This move is seen as a significant step towards addressing youth unemployment and fostering economic growth in the country. By increasing access to financial resources, the government aims to stimulate innovation and entrepreneurship among the younger population, which is crucial for Pakistan’s economic development.

Looking ahead, the government plans to hold further consultations with stakeholders in the coming weeks to refine the scheme and ensure its effective implementation. This includes outreach programs to educate potential applicants about the new loan limits and application processes.
