flag Pakistan’s economy faces ongoing crisis with high debt, low reserves, and poverty despite repeated IMF aid and reforms.

flag Pakistan’s economy remains in crisis, relying on repeated IMF bailouts and asset sales to avoid default. flag Despite emergency funding and debt relief, external debt exceeds $130 billion, reserves cover only about 1.5 months of imports, and inflation reached 38% in 2023. flag The tax-to-GDP ratio remains at just 9%, hindered by elite tax evasion and military-linked conglomerates. flag Fuel prices, unemployment, and poverty are high, with nearly 40% of the population in multidimensional poverty. flag Repeated IMF reforms have delivered temporary relief but no lasting change, as structural issues like elite capture and weak governance persist.
