ISLAMABAD
Bilal Azhar Kayani, the prime minister’s coordinator for the economy and energy, claimed on Saturday that the current administration has successfully avoided
The impending default and made important strides toward stabilizing and reestablishing the country’s economy on a sustainable basis have been overlooked.
Atif Mian tweeted
“Pakistan’s economy is in a tailspin, going from crisis to catastrophe.”
Bilal stated that Pakistan suffer significant economic difficulties, but the situation was not as dire as suggested in this thread.
He said that the present administration has successfully avoided default and made important strides toward restoring economic stability.
Infighting, confusion, and competition for power over the past few years have led to the country’s current crisis, according to Mr. Mian, who released a string of tweets on Wednesday.
“This is seen in the growing stagflationary tendencies, whereby both prices and growth are accelerating. He wrote, “These are really alarming indicators. Stagflation is characterized due to persistently high inflation, high unemployment, and stagnant demand in an economy.
He noted that the slowdown in GDP growth was not just unique to Pakistan but also a worldwide phenomenon. He noted that the war in Russia and Ukraine and the US Federal Reserve’s higher interest rates were still having an impact on world economic growth.
Devastating Floods
He claimed that the devastating floods of the previous year had a negative impact on Pakistan’s economy as well. He also predicted that Pakistan’s GDP would recover if its current foreign account issues were resolved and the outlook for the rest of the world improved.
“There is a primary surplus of 0.9% of GDP this year as opposed to a primary deficit of 0.6% during last year,” he said, adding that the current economic challenges, including inflation, have been directly attributed to the disastrous policies of the Imran Khan government, which systematically destroyed Pakistan’s economy over the course of four years and purposefully pushed the nation towards default before leaving office last year.
He continued, “Imran Khan‘s government not only nearly doubled Pakistan’s debt, but also produced a $17.4 billion current account deficit in the fiscal year 2022. If the current administration had not instituted mitigating measures after taking office in April 2022, this figure would have been even higher.”
