In a statement, PBF Vice President Ahmad Jawad asked how the rupee’s devaluation can be permitted given it would raise inflation to 30%.
According to the PBF official, Pakistan’s total debt has increased by Rs2.5 trillion as a result of the rupee’s depreciation.
He stated that it appears that the government is prepared to comply with all IMF demands in order to restart its loan programme, and that as a result, new taxes will be imposed on businesses and the general public. The cost of fuel will also go up.
PBF official also stressed attaining a balanced development in establishing united and fair society; stressing the growth with fair distribution enabling every Pakistani to participate in any principal economic activity.
