What is the position of PTI & Nawaz League on 06% GDP growth this year?


Regarding the ⁰⁶ per cent growth in the current financial year Shahid Mehmood said that economists from both the PTI & Nawaz League are reluctant to talk about the fact that high GDP has created more problems for Pakistan. Appears in the form of imbalances in payments.


In response to Minister of State for Finance Dr Ayesha Ghous Pasha PTI Economic Affairs Spokesperson Muzammil Aslam said that first of all it is necessary to understand the structure of growth.


He said that when the GDP growth was six per cent in the previous period of Nawaz League, then the current account deficit of the country became 19 19 billion whereas this year when the growth is 06 percent the deficit is  14 billion. Will be.


He said that the reason for this deficit is also the rising prices of commodities and oil in the world. Muzammil said that if these prices had not risen, the current account deficit would have been only  5 billion with this high growth due to the strong production figures behind the GDP growth.


Economist Muzammil Aslam says that the reason for the slowdown in growth next year is that  country is facing an energy crisis and energy supply is essential for economic growth. With this government has so far raised interest rates by four per cent & it is likely that in the coming days this interest rate will increase further which could go up to 20 per cent. With this high interest rate, 6% growth is not possible in the coming financial year.
