Pakistan Economic Survey Report 2024-25: The Economic Survey Report of the Government of Pakistan is giving 2024-25 testimony of what bad state the country is in. At present, a total loan of Rs 76,000 billion has been loaded on the country, including Rs 51,500 billion from domestic banks and Rs 24,500 billion rupees. In this way, a loan of more than three lakh rupees has been felt on every Pakistani citizen. Despite such a terrible situation, the Government of Pakistan and the army are busy with efforts to surround India, while the citizens of their country themselves are struggling for bread, electricity, gas and jobs on the ground.
Pakistan Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb has claimed that the country’s economy is in recovery mode and by 2025 GDP growth will reach 2.7%. Pakistan’s GDP growth was -0.2% in 2023. The country’s debt is more than two-thirds of GDP. Due to this, a large part of the annual income is being spent only in paying interest. Export is $ 27.3 billion, while import $ 48.6 billion is not a recovery, but a mere cycle of debt.
IMF and economic ‘Sanjeevani’ depended on foreign countries
Even though there may have been a slight increase in Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves ($ 16.64 billion), most of it is the result of a loan taken from IMF, World Bank, and Saudi-Amirat. There is a plan to privatize 24 government companies at the behest of IMF. This has claimed to reduce the loss of 800 billion rupees annually, but it is going to fall in the coming time, the country’s employment declines, expensive services prices and a burden on the common man.
Anti-India stance tried to raise ego in poverty
When the government and army of Pakistan do not have the policy and resources to handle their country, they are still increasing the army in POK. Trying to discredit India on international forums. Busy in conspiracy and rhetoric against India, all this is only a political show so that the attention of the people can be diverted from inflation, unemployment and economic plight.
