And what will the figure be in Dollars ?
 
This is mainly bcz Dollar devalued by almost 10 Rs since last year.
 
Yes. That is what I said. Debt in terms of dollars must have gone down compared to last year.

The SBP has not issued data of external debt after June, 2020.

In US$ terms it was US$ 199 billion in June 2018, US$ 204 billion in June 2019 and it was US$ 214 billion in August 2020. If we include IMF loans to Central Bank for BOP support, foreign exchange liabilities (UAE, KSA and China) it would have gone to US$ 214 billion. But we have to pay the local debt in PKR and we collect taxes in PKR too. So it is not an objection.
