At the moment, social unrest, racial and political divisions, and discontent are growing, which will prove to be a significant challenge for the new president.<br \/>\nThe effects of his policy on China will also be felt around the world, and it is hoped that he will play a positive role in ending global conflicts and not push the world into new problems.<br \/>\nMian Zahid Hussain said that the overall situation of America and the world will be a big test for President Trump. The new American president will not give importance to Pakistan, will not allow it to import gas or oil from Iran, and will not put any pressure on Pakistan to release any prisoners.<br \/>\nMian Zahid Hussain said that the Ministry of Finance is happy because of the favourable financial situation for the first time in 24 years. However, this happened because of the high profit of the Central Bank, and the record petroleum levy has also played its role.<br \/>\nThe central bank posted a historic surplus of Rs 2.5 trillion from July to September, partly due to high interest rates. Mian Zahid Hussain added that reports are currently doing the rounds that the IMF has called for a mini-budget to cover the shortfall in revenue as the FBR failed to meet the tax target for the first quarter.<br \/>\nHe said that there is a need to embrace the digital economy. Suppose the government fails to meet its targets. In that case, the international organization will end its program, which will cause the government to increase taxes on wage earners and industries.<br \/>\nThe situation may worsen as the government is not ready to tax the significant sectors of the economy. The government should investigate why the previous IMF program ended and how close it brought the country to default. Now, there is no room to repeat this mistake, he warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s success can change the global scenario Election reveals voters\u2019
