Luck for Pakistan..!? 3 countries help in 24 hours..!?
Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves are less than $3 billion, and if this continues in the next few weeks, many studies have revealed that Pakistan's condition is bound to deteriorate. A few days ago, even
international rating agencies such as Fitch and
moody's rated Pakistan's quality on par with bankruptcy.
Although many
people believe that friendly countries such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and
china may help after bankruptcy, due to the lack of any signal for this, the IMF is implementing all the conditions imposed by the IMF for its 6.5 billion dollar loan. In this situation, 3 countries have helped
pakistan in 24 hours. It is a surprising thing.
On behalf of the Chinese
government, the country's largest
bank has announced a loan of around $700 million to increase Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves. China's sudden financial aid has come as a big relief to help
pakistan recover from the economic crisis. Following China's financial support, Pakistan's Finance
minister Ishaq Dar tweeted that China's $700 million from
china Development
bank has come to Pakistan's central
bank, the
state bank of Pakistan. He termed this $700 million deposit as a "lifeline" for Pakistan.
A loan from the state-owned
china Development
bank will boost Pakistan's foreign exchange reserves by around 20%.
china has already lent a huge amount of money to Pakistan. About 30% of Pakistan's foreign debt depends on Chinese banks.
