 Background
 
 
 
 In August 2023, the IMF&rsquo;s Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) and Climate PIMA Report identified significant weaknesses in asset recording and maintenance across federal entities. The report recommended that the Government of Pakistan (GoP) prepare and publish standardised rules and procedures for ministries to retain, maintain, and disclose information on public assets, alongside the development of unified asset management methodologies. The report recommendations were approved by the Federal Cabinet for implementation.
 
 
 At the request of the Ministry of Finance (MoF), the ASI- REMIT programme supported the drafting of the Public Asset Management Guidelines (PAMGs) in consultation with the Planning Commission and key line ministries. The guidelines established a coherent and uniform framework for the acquisition, management, and disposal of public assets, clarified institutional responsibilities, and introduced accountability mechanisms consistent with international standards. Following approval by the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) and the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC), the PAMGs were disseminated across all federal ministries and divisions.
 
 
 Subsequently, the ASI-REMIT team, in coordination with the Controller General of Accounts (CGA) and MoF, developed standard methodologies for assessing the need of routine and capital maintenance of public assets for major asset classes. These methodologies were formally approved by the MoF and circulated across the federal ministries. Collectively, the PAMGs and associated maintenance methodologies represent a significant step toward institutionalising modern evidence-based and sustainable asset management within Pakistan&rsquo;s public sector.
 
 
 The results of the pilot will be used to determine if an AI enabled data analytics can be built to use registry data and generate operation and maintenance budgets. The data prepared and collected in a keeping view this potential of synthesising data by analytical software.
