Imran Khan said, “We don’t have enough money to run our country due to which we have to borrow loans.” A day after Khan described the increasing debt as a “national security issue,” the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) released the debt figures till September 2021.
Two days after Khan’s ‘don’t have money’ remark, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) rejected Pakistan’s borrowing request as it turned down the Pak government’s proposal to allow it to take loans equal to 2 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in a fiscal year.
