Post-Elections Scenario: IMF Program, Inflation & Economic Challenges
Dr. Nadeem Ul Haque, in this Podcast discusses the Current Economic situation of Pakistan, Post elections political landscape and the way forward with the next IMF Program. All-time high inflation rates and record fuel prices have put households under tremendous stress. Add to this dwindling foreign exchange reserves and the devastating floods of the past summer and prospects of these pressures being released in the near future remain slim. And while the scale and depth of the current economic crisis is bigger than any we have previously experienced, it’s nothing new. So why do we consistently go from one balance of payment crisis to the next? And what reforms need to be enacted for a permanent fix?
