The Big Questions

Federal Budget - Why do we borrow from the IMF? | Junaid Iqbal | Ep 1

Why do we borrow from the IMF? The answer lies in our federal budget. If Pakistan’s budget was just Rs100, what would it look like? How does our government raise money to begin with, and what does it spend the money on? This is the first episode in a new series of videos I will be hosting, to try and understand Pakistan’s economic situation and how we got here. Join me as we take a deep dive into Pakistan’s development challenges, and its economic potential. #pakistanbudget #pakistaneconomy #pakistaneconomiccrisis #imf #pakistan #rupee #junaidiqbal #foryou #foryoupage Our source links are in the comment section below.
