well i have posted this several times..Wow! This post should be elaborated upon in another thread. Gives a sweeping history of what's been going on in Pakistan over last several years. Thank you.
the whole problem of Pakistan can be summarized one word "state bank lending also known as fake note printing"
this is done usually at end of each govt to generate enough funds for heavy spending and growth...the counter effect of note printing is inflation but that is controlled via artificial interest rates. The end result of all this is current account deficit
this time and tested formula has won PMLN several govts and therefore, it will do it again as mentioned by Maryam so i do expect we having same policies in 2025 and ending up with IMF again in 2028
see this for example..the red is note printing..its worse in 2018-19 simply because PTI had to first adjust the interest rates and then print more notes to pay that interest
but this year it has been zero just like under IMF in 2013-2105
