Islamabad (July 01,2023) : Pakistan's external debt has reached $126.3 billion, the highest in the country's history. The debt is growing at an alarming rate, and it is putting a strain on the country's economy. The government has been borrowing heavily to finance its budget deficit. The deficit has been growing in recent years, due to a number of factors, including the high cost of fuel imports and the war on terror.

The government's debt is now unsustainable. The debt-to-GDP ratio is at 86%, and it is expected to reach 90% by the end of the year. This means that Pakistan is spending more money on debt servicing than on education and health care. The government's flawed external debt policy is a ticking time bomb. If the government does not take steps to reduce the debt, the country could face a financial crisis.
