In this talk Dr Ashfaque threw light on various factors involved in the economic issue of Pakistan and finally concluded that going to IMF is the root cause of all the economic problems of Pakistan. It pushes the lenders into such a vicious cycle that it becomes almost impossible to get out of it. It hijacks the economy of that country to the extent that the lending country can’t make its economic policies which are good for it. Everything goes into the hands of the IMF..

Pakistan has to make its own policies and get rid of it.
