Resilience shown is due rapid improvement in CAD
CAD Has dropped more thAan 50% due to 17%(12% remittances 5% exports) increase in inflows and 30% decrease in imports (both oil & non oil)

Now its dropped to 4% of GDP..anything around 2-3% is manageable

Issue however is expensive loan rollover due to downrating of Pakistan
 
.
it is positive sign but govt should try to focus on controlling inflation artificially made by traders and also improve human resource management to reduce joblessness of educated public
