Is Pakistan’s economy headed towards sustainable and equitable growth? Ft. Mifta Ismail | The Pakistan Pivot
In conversation with Miftah Ismail, Former Finance Minister, this episode discusses Pakistan’s economy in the context of IMF loans, State Bank Amend Bill and its autonomy, fiscal and monetary policy, taxation reforms, energy crisis, debt and tax-to-GDP ratio. Why does Pakistan always end up going to the IMF? How should we move towards sustainable and equitable growth? Should we have a free market? What is the SBP Amendment bill? Does it stop the State Bank from giving loans? Does it give State Bank too much autonomy? Will the bill be passed in order for IMF loan to be granted? What taxation reforms do we need? What is the energy issue for the industry and domestic user? What is Pakistan’s debt crisis? Why do we have a low tax-to-GDP ratio?
