The former cabal wasted all the loans and introduced damaging policies that pushed the country to the brink of bankruptcy.<br \/>\nHe informed that the size of Pakistan\u2019s economy is 350 billion dollars, while by December 2022, it had a debt of 126.3 billion dollars. Debt could only be repaid if the government complies by the IMF agreement and stop elite from wasting resources.<br \/>\nSince the 1950s, loans have been taken from the IFF almost two dozen times and now this series needs to be stopped, for which meaningful reforms are needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Egocentric politicians lamenting the IMF bailout | Elite must cease wasting resources to save Pakistan Islamabad Former President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) Dr. Shahid Rasheed Butt said on Saturday said the country has been saved from bankruptcy.
