Pakistan seeks additional $1.5b from IMF to combat climate change

[onlinpunit]

This dar fella is my spirit animal..! I also used to pay credit card bills by taking loans!!

 

[harpy1]

it pretty much is...interest upon interest

It's called compounding in maths
I think in the end I don't see Pakistan paying any debt back

China took Sri lanka port in Colombo because of debt that was owed to them

It's common knowledge now that Gwader will be a Chinese naval base controlled by Chinese military themselves ...

This cycle needs to be resolved some how

Pakistan has requested an additional $1.5 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to combat the impacts of climate change in the country, ARY News reported.

During a meeting with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif discussed the need for urgent action to control climate change in Pakistan.

The loan will support Pakistan’s Climate Resilience and Sustainability Facility, which aims to promote economic stability and sustainable development in the country.

The Prime Minister also expressed appreciation for the IMF’s technical assistance and capacity-building programs, which have helped to strengthen the country’s institutions and improve its economic management.

The IMF Managing Director expressed the Fund’s support for Pakistan’s efforts and emphasized the importance of maintaining macroeconomic stability and promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

During the meeting, they also discussed the urgent need of mobilizing adaptation financing for climate change. The Prime Minister agreed to have the Finance Minister take up this critical issue with senior management at the IMF during the Annual Meetings in October.

The two leaders agreed to strengthen cooperation between the government and the IMF to promote economic stability and growth.

Its worth mentioning here that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released the first tranche of $1 billion to Pakistan, which approved a $7 billion loan for Islamabad under the Extended Fund Facility. The new loan program for Pakistan spans 37 months.

IMF left some homework notes for gov... pretty sure they will ignore

IMF board stresses sustained programme implementation, widening tax base

Noting revenue base "remains too narrow to ensure tax fairness", welcomes steps taken toward a "fairer" system.

Early last month, a 31-year-old trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College was midway through a 36-hour shift when she took a break to eat a late dinner with her colleagues around 2 am local time. After the meal, they left her alone in the seminar room, where she was reportedly going to rest because there were no facilities for exhausted doctors. The next morning, her body was found with signs of extreme sexual abuse. Hospital administrators told her family that she had committed suicide, but when her parents – who had toiled and saved to send their only child to medical school – saw the body, it was beyond evident that she had been tortured and murdered. Her father, a tailor, had worried about her safety traveling home late at night after her shifts and had borrowed money to buy a car. “I wanted her to be safe on the roads at night,” her father said, “but she wasn’t even safe at the hospital as a doctor on duty.”

After the story broke and a hospital volunteer was arrested, protests erupted in Kolkata and across India. The principal of the medical college didn’t, at least publicly, offer his deepest condolences or promise an inquiry. Instead, Sandip Ghosh asked why the female doctor was resting alone in a room at night. The India Medical Association, the country’s largest group of doctors, called a nationwide strike shutting down all non-emergency services for 24 hours across the enormous country. Women across India joined the protests to express their anger and grief. Junior doctors in Bengal kept their strike going for weeks, ending it only recently.

This is not the first time that India has been rocked by such a barbarous crime. A young woman was horrifically gang raped on a bus in Delhi in 2012, sending shock waves across the world. In 2018, an 8-year-old Muslim girl, Asifa Bano, was gang-raped, held for days in a temple, and then killed. When her alleged rapists were arrested, two ministers from the ruling BJP party attended rallies in support of the men. Though they later had to resign, it was that same year that a Thomson Reuters Foundation’s annual report called India the most dangerous country in the world for women, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. Four years later, in 2022, it was estimated that an average of 86 rapes took place in India every day.

Can you not allow a few days between loan disbursement and a new loan application.

What difference does it make? Credit score is already zero. It can't go in negative even if you submit new application immediately.
