IMF’s Pakistan loan: When financial aid becomes cross-border ammunition

The IMF Executive Committee was approved on May 9 to release the first $1 billion of Pakistan’s $7 billion expansion fund facility, and in India, it has a dystopian air. Frankly, it shocked a life’s blood transfusion in the image of the patient in the ICU while holding the pistol in his hand.From the eyes of the next door neighbor who endured Pakistan’s state sponsored terrorism, this was not only a bad time, but a wrong policy. The authorization of international organizations is made by stones, which is wrong to the reality of the real world. From FATF to WHO, from G7 to BRICS countries, political and security considerations play a central role in decision-making. While the IMF seems to have its own timeline and indivisible logic, so are some other people in Pakistan.
Since the release of Operation Sindoor, it is obvious that its defense spending and support for terrorism are not one of the various complex and transcript conditions imposed by the IMF on Pakistan. pity. The most shocking actor in Pakistan is the absence of Scots. The Pakistan Army is a state within a state and does not easily restrict its freedom of movement. It is leading the Pakistani people into the abyss, putting the civic leadership (in this case, the unfortunate Sharif brothers) in the mercy of international creditors.
The IMF’s approval is of course an unpleasant reminder of Pakistan’s economic crisis.

State power usually depends on economic power. Not in this case. Pakistan’s recent economic collapse coincides with the beginning of Imran Khan’s premiership in 2018. Today’s currency is one-third of the value of Indian rupee.


Its many other indicators, such as GDP, foreign exchange reserves, savings and investment rates, tax collection and debt, are worse than those in Bangladesh. Pakistan has survived the IMF’s ongoing arrangements since 2019, with more than twenty since then. Its army seemed to have clashed with the kind of choice of India as a desire to die. There aren’t many examples in the world where they wear nuclear weapons on their sleeves and wield threats so easily. As the days passed, although India repeatedly advocated carefully targeting the terrorist infrastructure on May 7, the incident had been shut down with no other intentions, the Pakistani army raised the temperature to attract international attention. G7 is the latest statement requiring restrictions, downgrades and dialogue. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has spoken separately with the two countries. At this point, the most useful method is to repeat past mistakes that draw equivalence between victims and perpetrators. Every few years leads to the same results. Whether we like it or not, if global terrorism has to be defeated, there is nothing else but an absolutist. Kashmir or any other problem cannot be justified.

This time, the international community, including countries such as the G7 and Saudi Arabia, can make a difference by investing all its power into Pakistan, just like other countries that threaten peace and stability. First, it is time to issue a harsh warning to General Asim Munir to avoid any loose topics of nuclear choice, the terrible consequences of leaving him unquestionably.

The current head of the Pakistani army believes that he can redeem the world.

Despite all the dysfunction in a great power relationship, it is very likely that they speak in a voice (if not to act) to stop escalation and to free the Pakistani people from the tyranny of one’s foolish behavior.
