Former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said expressed confidence that will once again elected as a prime minister this year, and would support a role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to boost the economy of the country.
While giving an interview to the Bloomberg, he said that he will win with a majority in upcoming general elections. He also said that he is developing a plan to uplift the economy, according to him that will be in even worse condition by then.
While responding to a question that will he keep chasing IMF - whose accord for about $6.5 billion of lending to Pakistan has seen multiple delay - he stated “We have no choice now.”
It is pertinent to mention here that the country’s Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves have dropped by half since October 2022, and they’re now enough to pay for one month’s imports. This situation has resulted into surge in inflation.
