We saw exactly same BS articles post COVID.
Western countries do not want poor countries to get out of their clutches so they use institutions under their thumb to spread economic chaos in these countries. Ignorant Pakistanis buy their propaganda hook line and sinker while gora loving Pakistanis amplify western BS to promote their agenda. Dau takkay kay Indians simply get a hard on from reading Pak economic disaster **** which is why they come crawling out of their naali when they see any article relating to Pak economy.
All developing countries that are not energy exporters need USD liquidity. That is simply the nature of international financial system. Countries of Asia Pacific have gotten around this problem by turning themselves into export hubs while countries like Turkey and India, which like Pakistan, run persistent current account deficits, finance their USD requirement by attracting private funding i.e foreign investment in financial securities as well as in real economy. Indians especially, are masters of putting lipstick on a pig. They get their loose moral Bollywood heroines to perform jiggy in front of goras and that opens the purse strings.
In contrast to Indians, we Pakistanis are champions of turning Cinderella into ugly sister. Sucking western teat is the favourite past time of our elites which is why being in the IMF program is seen as a mark of honor. Even mard-ay-momin's son, Ijaz ul-Haq, worked for American Express while the father was busy imposing Islami nizam in Pakistan.
You see instability in Pak every time country takes a step towards economic independence. Happened at the end of Ayub and Musharraf's reign and IK was removed as soon as his government started to get a handle on the economy. This is not a coincidence but Pakistanis don't see the threat much in the same way as leadership of Moghul empire who kept granting firmans in favour of EIC. We know how that story played out. Will our fate be any different?
