Pakistan is facing a big economic crisis with a high inflation rate of 36.4%. The country needs to repay $3.7 billion in external debt by June 30, 2022. The Fitch Rating official expects China to roll over a $2.4-billion loan that is due next month. Pakistan has been struggling to avoid default with the help of friendly countries and multilateral lending agencies, but the situation is expected to get more difficult in the coming years.

Pakistan’s GDP growth rate is expected to see a massive dip this fiscal year. The World Bank projection brought it down by 93.33% for 2022-23, at 0.4%. The IMF predicted that the country will grow by 0.5%, while ADB estimates said it is slated to grow by 0.6%.
