Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said his country needed “painful” economic reforms to repay its debts.
The Prime Minister said this after meeting the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The prime minister said the PM was addressing the World Federation of Government Councils in Dubai. He said that the country was facing a huge budget deficit and during that period it was trying to cover the deficit.
“I repeat. Reforms are painful. It’s like surgery. The patient suffers from pain when you make an operation. But the operation will improve after the operation, “said Imran Khan.
“The worst thing that can happen to a community is to postpone reform. There is no worse thing than postponing the fears that objections will come. Those who are narrow and want to stand up protest against reforms. You do not reform. It’s not as bad as anymore, “the Pakistani PM said.
Prior to addressing the conference, it was also reported that the Prime Minister of Pakistan had met with head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde.
According to the Pakistani government, Pakistan’s foreign debt is estimated to be about US $ 100 billion.
