Pakistan’s economy has been struggling for several years due to a combination of factors, including corruption, mismanagement, and terrorism. The country has been relying heavily on loans from international financial institutions and other countries to keep its economy afloat.
Well, Pakistan’s admission of going bankrupt is a significant blow to the country’s reputation and future. However, it is not too late for the country to turn things around. With the right policies and the support of its people, Pakistan can overcome its economic challenges and emerge as a strong and prosperous nation.
